This week on RootsChatz, Magellan and Allen round out their discussion of the original 1977 Roots miniseries by talking about their problems with Chicken George's plan to be free, America's shift from legalized to disguised white supremacy, and the value of ending a story like Roots on a hopeful note. We hope people are still enjoying RootsChatz! It's been such an informative, refreshing experience that's way out of our comfort zone. Stay tuned next week as we begin our coverage of Roots: The Next Generations.
