Roots: The Saga of an American Family by Alex Haley

5.0

---

I am so glad I chose this to wrap up Black History Month. I can only imagine the time Alex Haley put into researching his family history and how moving it was at each new discovery. Then to put it all together in this family saga. If each of his ancestors stories don’t make you tear up, you will definitely tear up as Haley describes his experience in Africa or in Annapolis. So glad I finally read this!!!
