Description:... "While Haley created certain unknown details of his family history, ROOTS is definitely based on the facts of his ancestry, and the six generations of people - slaves and freedmen, farmers and lawyers, an architect, teacher - and one acclaimed author - descended from Kunte Kinte. But with this book, Haley did more than recapture the history of his own family. He popularized genealogy for people of all races and colors."--BOOK JACKET.
