Yep we know the story. Kunte Kinte and all that. He was beaten until he said his name was Toby. They trace their family line up to Alex Haley. They traced their family history farther back than most of us can. They survived slavery and Jim Crow and the family lived on. We get it.
I have no plans to watch it. Saw the original but don’t want to revisit it.
Yep, it was a rehash of Harold Courlander's (currently a DWM) historic fiction The African that Haley presented as a bio of his family...
