File-This Feb. 1, 2010, file photo shows Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. attending the premiere screening of 'Faces of America With Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.' at Jazz at Lincoln Center on in New York. Ben Affleck requested that the PBS documentary series "Finding Your Roots" not reveal he had a slave-owning ancestor, according to emails published online by whistleblower site WikiLeaks, and the information never appeared on the program. PBS and the host of the show, Gates, say they didn’t censor the slave owner details. Instead, more interesting ancestors of the actor emerged and Gates chose to highlight them in the October segment, they said in separate statements posted on the PBS website.
