Roots: The Saga of an American Family by Alex Haley

5.0

---

Fact, fiction, faction or whatever you want to call it, the importance of this story can not be denied. This is a story that follows a free African as he becomes an enslaved American. It makes you think about the effects slavery had on both African and American history. Those effects are literally still visible today and this is a truth that not many people care to acknowledge.
