    roots next generation

    I FIRST WATCHED THIS AS A CHILD IN THE 70S,I REALISED THEN WHAT A UPROUR IT CAUSED THROUGHOUT THE UK,I WAS RIVITED TO THE TV WHEN IT WAS ON. I NEVER KNEW MUCH ABOUT SLAVERY SO THIS WAS A GREAT HISTORY LESSON FOR ME, I DIDNT LIKE HISTORY AT SCHOOL NOR WAS I ANY GOOD AT IT,

    I AM PRIVALAGED TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH MY JOURNEY AFTER MANY YEARS, I CAN NOW WHAT IT WITH MY CHILDREN AND EDUCATE THEM WITH REGARDS TO THE STRUGGLE THAT TEAP THE BENIFITS OF FREEDOM HEIR FOREFARTHERS HAD SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO REAP THE BENIFITS OF FREEDOM, I FOUND IT HISTORICALLY DETAILED,SENSITIVE,MOVING SAD BUT HISTORICAL.

    Roots the next generation

    Loved it when it first came out on television, I didn't miss an episode, I found it very interesting and educational and on seeing it again on DVD makes me want to see all of this series and the previous original Roots.
