A few months ago we wrote that Faces of America would be on PBS with Yo-Yo Ma and Kristi Yamaguchi. If you missed it, don’t worry, we got you covered. Here’s the whole series online.

Episode 1: Our American Stories

Our American Stories explores the dynamic and shifting relationship America had with her new immigrants in the 20th century. Learn about the struggles of the ancestors of Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi and a single encounter that changed cellist Yo-Yo Ma’s life forever

Episode 2: Becoming American

Becoming American explores the many journeys to becoming American that defined the “Century of Immigration” (1820s – 1924) and transformed the United States from a sleepy agrarian country into a booming industrial power. See how Kristi Yamaguchi’s grandfather faced exclusionary laws and racially-defined barriers to citizenship for decades.

Episode 3: Making America

Making America tells the story of the peopling of the New World, of how land came to define the settling and identity of America, and of how the guests’ ancestors were part of this history. Learn about Yo-Yo Ma’s family genealogy in China.

Episode 4: Know Thyself

Know Thyself takes up the search for the guests’ ancestries where the historical record leaves off and links their distinctive family histories to the broader history of “the family of man.” See how Yo-Yo Ma and Eva Longoria are related.
