Cons: They don't Show It Often.
I watched this mini-series as a kid and proud I watched it with my family. This series was a historical drama and presented the viewpoint of African Americans told in an nonstereotypical manner.
All I can say is that Roots should be required viewing because although it shows the shameful legacy of Slavery and Jim Crow and how it affects African Americans today.

If you don't watch it on TV One, rent it and support this drama that deserves to be seen. ...
