Welcome to Part 1 of our 3-part season finale! In this special we will be covering the 1977 mini-series "Roots". This show was a cultural moment nearly 50 years ago. Based off the book written by Alex Haley (The Autobiography of Malcolm X) this show traced his own roots and follows the story of the young West African man, Kunta Kinte who was stolen and sold into the Transatlantic Slave Trade. In Part 1, we cover the first two episodes where we meet Kunta Kinte in his home land and follow his journey on a slave ship to a Virginian plantation. Join us as we break down this famed series.
