Angela Davis was shocked to learn that her ancestors came to America on the Mayflower, making her descendants of people who helped found the country.
The civil rights activist learned about this news during the Feb. 21 episode of PBS’s Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Gates shows her a manifest of names, eventually revealing that the document had the names of the Mayflower passengers.
The post Angela Davis Learns She Had Ancestors On The Mayflower In Recent ‘Finding Your Roots’ Episode appeared first on Blavity.
“No, I can’t believe this,” she said, laughing through her surprise. “My ancestors did not come here on the Mayflower.”
When asked how she felt about the news, Davis said, “…That’s a little bit too much to deal with right now.”
Watch the clip below. The full episode is available for streaming on PBS.

I added the country numbers.
They leave out the unassigned.
Through her paternal grandfather, she is a descendant of Mayflower pilgrim William Brewster.
We are all related, maybe more than one might think.
So it was her relatives that killed the Indians?

Thanks.
So funny.
Obama too was descended from Mayflower.
The other article says they track the family trees and it is not by DNA.

Obama was also a descendant of King John. All presidents except for Martin van Buren have been his descendants.
Notably white which means she’s a half wit and has no digs on reparations or her blackness, funny
There are no genetically-pure-African blacks in the US. Most are a mix. The lighter ones are mostly white, but feel they have to be radically black in order to be accepted.
Not really.
Opra is the worst of the lot. She ain’t so yellow.
She had a fit when Gates suggested she may not be 100% African. Insisted she was zulu but was not.
She came from a slave selling tribe near the coast IIRC.
Tell that to Opra.
I suppose they had to do something during those long winter nights...and they didn’t dance...vertically.
They must have been white, then. There were 12 slaves on board that trip - all white.
The idiot is denying truth. The idiot thinks that to be a descendant of a Mayflower passenger is to be a White supremacist racist. Now that it applies to her, she is faced with massive cognitive dissonance and is wildly searching for a way to eliminate it.
One way, angela, is to give back all the money you made by condemning Whites as the oppressor.
She’s been a huckster her entire adult life.
All of those 1960’s radicals worked their way into inflential positions. That’s one reason we have so much Marxist crap in higher education.
I disavow.
Funny how she became ‘legitement’ after her helping black panthers in a courtroom fiasco.
Commie America hating TRAITOR!
I remember watching it in real time.
Now she’s a professor
Like Bill Ayers she’s a stain on our Republic.
Truth and Facts!
Great Grafik!
