Is Henry Louis Gates Jr. Married? Let’s Meet His Wife

In a piece Henry wrote for The Daily Beast in February 2021 about Black churches and their “cultural ties” to Africa, Henry dipped into his personal life. “My wife, Marial Iglesias Utset, is a Cuban citizen and a historian of slavery and the slave trade to Cuba,” he explained. “Her parents were deeply committed to the Cuban Revolution and raised their three children not only outside of the Catholic Church, but as staunch atheists.” What a thrilling introduction to a fascinating woman.
