Pros

helps to right past wrongs, appeals to both Blacks and Whites, Creates empathy

NOV

2007

Roots gave me to a real understanding of the terrible wrongs done by Whites to Blacks in the United States. It made me far more empathic with present day African Americans who cannot forgive and forget. I felt as if I ( not an African American) was suffering through the ordeals of the people in the book. It had a life-changing effect on me.
