Yes it was a true story

Yes.
I remember seeing it as a little white kid back in the 1970s. It really was my first glimpse into slavery and how blacks were treated. A great story of triumph over evil.
The author of the book roots Alex Haily, did a complete serch of his family history. In the end it led him to Kunta kinte. Now i do think he may have added a few things to the story. But i would say about 90% of the roots story is true.
yes, it was totally a true story, wait till the end, it will tell you then, and why he showed it...and the person who said it was boring, is really going to irritate me, i loved roots, it is truly touching, and makes you think.
It's fiction based on probability.
Yes he is real, the movie is based on Alex Hailey's family.
The Author of Roots, Alex Haley this was his life history, his roots. He also wrote a book called Queen or Queenie and this was the story of his grandmother or great grandmother. Both are very good books. God bless****
