Before Henry Louis Gates mesmerized black Americans with his PBS specials tracing the history of African-American lives, a magazine writer and author galvanized African-Americans into a search for their own roots.
..
On Jan. 23, 1977, the miniseries “Roots,” adapted from a book of the same name by Alex Haley, debuted. The series, which ran for eight consecutive evenings, was watched by more than 130 million viewers. At the time, it was the biggest audience for any program since the invention of television.
..
The historical narrative traced the story of one of Haley’s African ancestors, a slave named Kunta Kinte, and six generations that followed him in the American south.

You may be feeling level-headed and choose to use your common sense when making decisions on financial matters. This may seem reasonable and even obvious, but we may not always use our best thinking when it comes to our finances.

..
But before she was a mother — or a wife, lawyer, or public servant — she was Fraser and Marian Robinson’s daughter.
..
The Robinsons lived in a brick bungalow on the South Side of Chicago.
