"Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of Haley's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Johnson probes the origins of this American classic, the struggles Haley experienced in more than 12 years of research and seeking publication, the challenges to its authenticity, and its eventual triumph.Johnson's history is timely and timeless." --BOOKLIST, starred review "Remembering Rootshighlights the indomitability of the human spirit; and reminds us that, like our ancestors, as long as we continue to breathe, there's hope." --LEVAR BURTON, award-winning actor, director, author, and original cast member of Roots Discover how the book and TV miniseries Rootsbecame a cultural phenomenon that has shaped our understanding of heritage, race, identity, and family for fifty years. As we approach the 50th anniversaries of Alex Haley's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Roots(1976) and its landmark television adaptation (1977), journalist and storyteller Lucas L. Johnson II reflects on the enduring legacy of Haley's work through the voices of those it continues to move, including scholars, artists, genealogists, students, and original cast members like LeVar Burton and Ben Vereen.
