    Great Saga of a Real Family!

    This book is a classic in its own right. It's the first novelized, comprehensive history of not only a real family, but of multitudes of people snatched from their African societies and forced into slavery. It recounts 200 years of kidnappings and human beings being subjugated to a status lower than cattle!

    Roots, Hard Cover, 1st Edition

    After watching the remake of Roots awhile back, I decided to buy the book to read. The first hundred pages or so, are boring until, he gets captured by the slave traders. Both, of the miniseries (1977 and 2016), don't follow the book completely, but that's Hollywood for you. Alex Haley, must've been heavily influenced by Malcolm X, writing his autobiography for him, because he makes Kunta Kinte a muslim. Still, it's not bad reading.
