Inhaltsangabe
In this inspirational memoir, Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington explains how filling in the gaps of his past led him to discover a new passion: helping those less fortunate. DNA testing revealed that Washington was descended from the Mende people, who today live in Sierra Leone. For many people, the story would end with the results of the search; for Isaiah, it had just begun. Discovering his roots has given him a new purpose, to lead an inspirational life defined by faith and charity. After visiting Sierra Leone and researching the country and its needs, Washington forged a strong relationship with the Mende people, and was inducted as a Chief 2006. He established a Foundation to institute many improvements suggested by the country's people. A final postscript to Washington's story also doubles as a historic moment: in 2008, he was awarded citizenship in Sierra Leone based on his DNA results. Dual citizenship has been a dream of African-Americans like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, but Washington became the first to realize that honor. A twofold milestone, it was also the first time an African president granted citizenship based on DNA.
