Roots 01 & 02 | RootsChatz 01
CW: Sexual assault, slavery, physical violence. It's a story about slavery in America that does not pull punches, so please be aware that that's the story being told and discussed. The ChatzKidz continue the Summer of Miniseries with 1977's ROOTS, a story about slavery, family, and legacy. We hope you can find a way to watch along as we discuss this monumental program for the next few weeks! In this first installment, we are introduced to Kunte Kinte, the value of a story about Black suffering (shoutouts to Snoop Dogg for calling this out), the different ways enslaved people fought back, and why this series matters now more than ever.
