Yo & Mikki to Track Ancestral Origin (check your local PBS listings in Feb)

In honor of Black History Month and in conjunction with the PBS series African American Lives 2, Sacramento Kings center Mikki Moore and Sacramento Monarchs forward / center Yolanda Griffith participated in maternal DNA testing today at the Kings / Monarchs Practice Facility. (more)

Wow! That's so cool, I wonder how much they cost to do? I hope they share the results ... I also think it's totally cool that we are ALL Africans ... ; )

Thanks for the information! Sounds really interesting!

I wonder if it is being shown ONLY on KVIE, or is it going to be shown on all the PBS stations?

Judging from what's here, the show will be shown across PBS affiliates, there may be some sort of companion piece locally with KVIE that won't appear outside of here. Yo and Mikki's tracing will be covered by the SacBee.

I watched the first series, it was incredibly fascinating!

Thanks for the story...now that I think about it Yo & Mikki sorta resemble one another. They both are tall & lean, with a long wing span, the braids & all.
The way they play the game, with so much heart. I really enjoy both players.

As for myself I'm not sure I want to know about all my kin.

Today's (Feb. 2, 2008) SacBee did an article on Miki and Yo about the testing.
