One man's family. One nation's legacy. Share in the human triumph of Kuanta Kinte, Fiddler, Kizzy, Chicken George and more in this Edition of Alex Haley's best-selling saga as depicted in the 1977 8-part mini-series that impacted the nation like no other telecast. Based on Alex Haley's best-selling novel about his African ancestors, "Roots" followed several generations in the lives of a slave family. The saga began with Kunta Kinte (LeVar Burton), a West African youth captured by slave raiders and shipped to America in the 1700s. The family's saga is depicted up until the Civil War where Kunte Kinte's grandson gained emancipation. "Roots" made its greatest impression on the ratings and widespread popularity it garnered. On average, 130 million - almost half the country at the time - saw all or part of the series.
