I was excited to see our common mixed race ancestor, Lafayette Carberson Robinson, and his mother who was born enslaved discussed. Very interesting family that made for an intriguing show.

You could add her first husband, Rodney Crowell. He's notable in his own right, but it's also fair to say that the two of them working together produced some good work, too. His wiki page:

Rosanne is active in efforts to restore and bring visitors to her father's childhood home in Dyess, Arkansas. It was one of the New Deal Resettlement Communities for destitute sharecroppers.
