Wanda Tucker, a 61-year-old African American, is trying to document an audacious claim: that her family, the Tuckers of Tidewater Virginia, are directly descended from the first child born to the first Africans to arrive on the mainland of English America 400 years ago. While it's almost impossible to trace the lineage of the first recorded black birth in what would become the United States, the Tuckers believe that legacy belongs to them. For Wanda, the path back to Angola represents a spiritual journey, filled with conflict and doubt. Her journey is the dream of millions of African Americans: to connect with their history and walk the path of their ancestors.
