Roots Revisited

Spend most of my time watching DVDs the last couple of weeks.

I managed to revisit Roots and Roots-The Next Generation.

In spite of more than 26 years old, Roots continue to thrill.

We are transported back to the times of Kunta Kinte as he is shipped by slavers from the Gambia to Annapolis and sold as a slave. We saw the ordeal of Kizzy and the adventures of Chicken George. Then we experienced the horror KKK days with Tom and Irene, racial discrimination and entrepreneurship with the Palmers, Bertha and Alexander Haley and finally Alex Haley.

Good series. Thoroughly enjoyable!
