In the fall of 1976, the United States published a family history novel "Roots" written by black author Alex Haley. The author claims that after twelve years of textual research, he traces his ancestors over six generations to Quinta Kent, a black man who was taken from the west coast of Africa by white slave traders to North America as slaves, and describes his life as a free man in Africa , his and his descendants' ordeal under American slavery, and what the family experienced after they were freed. When the book was published, it became a popular bestseller. At the same time, it has also attracted diametrically opposed evaluations and has become the focus of intense debate. Therefore, the issue of "Roots" is an event with high social significance and academic nature, which deserves study and discussion.

Do you remember watching it at the Zhengda Theater? There seems to be a second one. I was deeply impressed by the description of the history of blood and tears of black slaves in the United States, as well as the grievances and grievances with white people. I really want to read the book!

Kintango: Who can tell me if there was a tribal war, and the men of Mandinka had the enemy surrounded on three sides, what should be the next thing done?
Boy: The men of the Mandinka will enclose the circle and surround the enemy.
Kintango: No, the goal of war is not to kill. The goal of war is to win. By surrounding the enemy, you would force him only to fight more desperately. If you surround him on three sides and leave him an escape route, he will leave your land and there will less blood spilled on both sides. For a warrior of the Mandinka, courage is not enough.
Kunta Kinti: But sir, won't an enemy who escapes alive fight you again?
Kintango: It is impossible to kill an enemy. You may end a man's life, but his son becomes your new enemy. A warrior respects another warrior, even he is his enemy. A warrior kills only to protect his family, or to keep from becoming a slave. We believe not in death, but in life, and there is no object more valuable than a man's life. The way of the Mandinka is not easy, but it is best.
