makes me cry to think anyone could do this to another person ever and today people still DON'T get it STOP the HATE

Watching the first episode of this emotional powerhouse.

"Men who are chained together are brothers." Still love Roots.

It's one of those days, you know, when you just wanna get wasted & watch Roots.

This is a must see for all,it's hard to believe that the was really like this at one point in time,we still isn't far removed from it,but I am glad the world is getting better and we have Christ to look forward to cleansing this world of the hatred that's in it.

This was a must to watch. Everybody was talking about it...even the teachers! I really think it should be shown in every history class.

Bought this some time ago. Thought my 13yr old should watch it.
She's genuinely enjoying it,speaks to both the quality of the production and the quality of the story itself.

Takin' it back status..

One day I need to find out how my family got the last name Charles..

Watching with Desi we're on the last disc now :-)

Watching in African Canadian Studies.

Chicken George is considering saving up to buy his freedom.

Kizzy is a little too Cafe Au Lait...sorry but they mis-casted that role.

Watching this in class while tumblring and tweeting lol

Respect to @LeVarBurton and all the other actors of color who brought this tour de force to the airwaves. #blackhistorymonth Watch it. Learn something. Understand.

Today in 1977, with 100 million viewers, "ROOTS" became the most-watched TV program in American History.

I'm watching this in my African History class.

"It's good to remember, though we'd like to forget!"

This is one of my grandmother favourite shows.

I watched the whole series with my mom when it was on TV. Wish it would air again

I can remember people being glued to their t.v.'s when this mini series aired...Seems like they had every actor and actress of color they could get @ the time.
O.J Simpson even had a small part.

Continuing from the boat ride.

Alot of great black actors/ actresses were in this. Teaching my boys a lil somethin

Oj simpson was in this. Hmmmm

My name is Kunta. Kunta Kinte!
