"In all of us is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage-to know 
who we are and where we have come from.  Without this enriching 
knowledge, there is a hollow yearning.  No matter what our attainments 
in life, there is still a vacuum, and an emptiness, and the most 
disquieting loneliness."
Alex Haley
