Retired Black Exec Finds Her Chinese Family
January 20, 2016
Pursuing her long-lost grandfather and her life-long yearning to know her extended family resulted in retired NBC Universal executive, Paula Williams Madison, meeting more than 300 Chinese relatives and finding lineage that dated back more than 3,000 years. Her book and documentary by the same name, “Finding Samuel Lowe,” is a memoire that leads from New York to Jamaica to China where Madison finally meets the family of her maternal grandfather, Samuel Lowe. “I had no idea that my family from China would be so large and we were blessed because of the way they reacted to us,” she said.
