National Roots Day is held every year during what is referred to as the holiday season. On this day, we celebrate our roots and learn from our ancestors. Because every generation is indeed shaped by the endeavors, experiences, setbacks, and triumphs of its predecessor. Not to mention, the roots closest to you, your parents, grandparents and their parents, are expected to have the biggest effect on your life.

Why Is Heritage Important?

As we all know, behind the development of a beautiful family there is a history of the past. Culture, ancestors, and heritage help us understand our family history. As we learn more about our own family heritage, we come to understand our parents and grandparents, and even ourselves.

Knowing our heritage can inspire us to be the best version possible and give us hope for the future. If we research our ancestors and learn about our past, we feel more connected to them. Heritage can inspire even future generations to appreciate the present. It can also bring people together from different backgrounds and cultures. As a result, genealogy has become more popular in the last 40 years.

Because of this, many Americans today do not know much about their roots and heritage.

Family heritage is revealed through the celebration of National Roots Day. The happy season is the one time of year in which the whole family comes together, so it is only fitting that ancestral heritage is celebrated during this period.
