Back in March Dr. Henry Louis Gates revealed that Alicia Keys had to back out of filming her PBS special 'Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr.,' because her paternal grandmother feared it would unearth a long held dark family secret [click here if you missed that].
Well, Alicia is ready to find out just what that secret is...
In a recent interview Alicia revealed,
"I feel connected to both my parents’ roots. My mother is Irish-Italian. Her Italian grandparents were from Sicily. I have never been there so I would like to go. Whenever I’m in Italy people always ask me, ‘Are you a little Italian?’ They can see it. I would like to take one of those DNA tests because it would be great to know where my exact lineage is from. I’m not sure of my father’s roots. He is African-American, but what does that actually mean?"
