Roots Episode #1 Review by William Weaver https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2 Answer 2 of the following questions for discussion about the first episode of Roots. en-us 2021-01-25 05:48:44 UTC 2021-01-25 15:21:36 UTC hello@padlet.com Roots is a very Unique Experience, Often times People will talk about modern day slavery and gloss over the slavery of the past unless the past is worth bringing up in the moment, Yet Roots doesn't go that route, It's about People trying to find out who they were before Enslaved.

It is important to tell this story because it shows how a slave tries to escape slavery and it can also give an example of how slaves were treated. cchukwu2 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122283655 2021-01-25 15:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122283655 I feel it is important to tell this sory because ramarshall2 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122285015 2021-01-25 15:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122285015 So far i feel slightly angry watching Roots. It's important to tell this story because the history of black people in America in history books is often not completely accurate, especially since it was most likely written by a white man. kkdace https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122286180 2021-01-25 15:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122286180 Actually I'm in a somewhat Unique Position, My descendants were Nicaraguans who were Enslaved, Yet i Don't know my own roots. Linking back to how Slavery has made us forget where we're from. jacevedoper https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122286445 2021-01-25 15:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122286445 Roots is a sad but necessary story to tell because it gives a visual glimpse of how everything started and thats very important to know jmpowell7 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122288694 2021-01-25 15:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122288694 I feel its important for people to know who they were before they were enslaved https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122295757 2021-01-25 15:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122295757 jjmoore22 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122298935 Slavery still goes on today because blacks are still treated different and getting brutalized by whites ]]> 2021-01-25 15:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122298935 The legacy of slavery is clear in most of the negative stereotypes placed upon black people today. It's important to know this history bc in order to solve today's issues, we have to understand them completely, including their origins. kkdace https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122301162 2021-01-25 15:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122301162 The legacy of slavery still exists today because many African Americans are not treated as equal and there is a lot of brutality from police against African Americans. It is important to explore this history because it shows what people went through in order to achieve equality. cchukwu2 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122310041 2021-01-25 15:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/w504fpi6jh3qiee2/wish/1122310041 While watching roots I had mixed emotions.
