Henry Louis Gates’ show African American Lives has revealed to a lot of African American celebrities, with the exception of Oprah, that they have family roots that are directly connected to white slave masters, abolitionists, as well as native Americans.

In the new version of the Lone Ranger that is presently in theaters, Johnny Depp portrays the dynamic native American sidekick, Tonto.  But, ironically, Depp, who has claimed native American heritage in the past, found through Ancestry.com, that he does not have native American roots, but notable African American ancestry, according to the Afro.

“New research revealed the actor is a direct descendant of Elizabeth Key, an African-American former slave who worked within the law to win her freedom on July 21, 1656, the heritage website said.”

Wow!
