CABRERA: On tomorrow's brand-new episode of "UNITED SHADES OF AMERICA," W. Kamau Bell heads down south to debunk some myths. We are also retracing his family roots with his father.</s>W. KAMAU BELL, CNN HOST, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Now my career is doing OK by most measures. But my dad's is way more impressive. He was the insurance commissioner for Alabama, which made him the highest ranking black person in Alabama. He was the first Alabaman to become the President of the national association of insurance commissioners. He has met with multiple Presidents, Clinton, Obama, no. But before all that, he was a struggling artist in the bay area. So that's where I got that from. But his life really started in a shack in Alabama a hundred miles outside of mobile. It's got a population of 312, and the shack is on land that my family still owns. Right off of, don't get too impressed, Bell Road.</s>CABRERA: Be sure to catch "UNITED SHADES OF AMERICA" tomorrow night at 10:00 eastern right here on CNN.
