Family researchers have uncovered the roots of the newest Pope and first American pope. Cardinal Prevost has a multicultural family tree going back many generations. Some of ancestors lived in the American South, New Orleans to be exact. His family includes Black slaves and Black slave owners. This makes the newest pope a multicultural icon representing numerous American subcultures. Those in Chicago were probably unaware of his family history and can now embrace a truly "American"pope-a pope for all.
