DNA Tribes is proud to contribute genetic ancestry analysis to the upcoming Africa Meets Africa Live! event in Washington, DC. From the Africa Meets Africa Live! press release (click here to view full text):

(Washington, DC, Nov. 7th, 2006) There is a new rush to Africa with celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi, Chris Tucker and Isaiah Washington tracing their roots back to Africa. The Africa focused radio magazine, Africa Meets Africa on Pacifica Radio's WPFW 89.3 FM is taking its agenda up close and personal, extending its platform and mission beyond the airwaves. Host & Executive Producer, Angelique Shofar is bringing the spirit of Africa alive, inspiring closer ties between people of African descent and the continent, putting ideas into action, while expanding vision and hope for a new Africa.

On Sunday, November 19th people will gather at the entry of the door of no return. This month's theme is "BACK TO MY ROOTS." Shofar plans on taking her audience back to Africa and empowering them with words, resources, wisdom and the tools needed to trace their roots through DNA Genealogy.

For more information, please see the Africa Meets Africa website.
