Description
His name was Kunta Kinte. Kidnapped from Africa and enslaved in American 1767, he refused to accept his slave name of Toby. Heirs kept his heroic defiance alive, passing on his tale across generations until it reached a young boy growing up in Tennessee. His name was Alex Haley. Through the lineage of one family, Haley and his Pulitzer Price-winning Roots told a story for all America and the world. Seen by 130 million viewers during its premiere telecasts and the winner of dozens of awards, David L. Wolper production remains an engrossing entertainment.
