Roots the Mini series 30 years

hard to beleive it's been 30 years since Alex Hailey's triumph Story Roots hit the airwaves. over a 130 Million Americans Watched the Mini series that truly made people talk about the Racial Enviroment around the Country. Roots talked about Africans being brought over here to America. it dealt with descrimination, it dealt with Black People being Sold as Slaves&used as Property. a TV Special that truly changed my life. I bought the Vhs tapes, then I got the DVD, Book&just felt the importance of watching this Picture. thanks to My Grandparents for making me watch how important this Film was because it dealt with so much that still needs to be dealt with&said. over 400 plus Years in America&Black History isn't taught in full in Schools. Alex Hailey though inspired quite a few folks to trace there Ancestory. but this Picture made you think, feel Emotion&Question why so much happen to a Race of People who never asked to be over here,but have made America that much stronger over time. it seems just like Yesterday we heard about Kunte Kinte. ask yourself have you learned more since or is it time to watch what Roots was all about again?
