Roots Premiere: Why It Was the Right Time for a Remake

Roots, Forest Whitaker, Malachi Kirby

Nearly 40 years after it first captured the world's attention, Roots has returned.
The History Channel's remake of the 1977 miniseries debuted tonight, and whether or not you've had the chance to see the original series—which still holds the record for the second highest rated series finale of all time—it's very possible you've had your mind blown.
The updated series still tells an extended version of the same tale of Kunta Kinte (Malachi Kirby), the African man sold into slavery in the 1700s, but this time, it's airing in front of a whole new generation that may need it more than ever.
"It has been 40 years, loads of children know nothing about the phenomenon that [Roots] was," star Anika Noni Rose, who plays Kunta's daughter Kizzy, said when she was chatted with  at the series' premiere. "They don't really know the history of the United States—and I blame the history books for that—so it's definitely time. It's such an important time for what is going on in our world now, especially for young people of color. This is very important."
According to star T.I., who plays Cyrus, the remake is the perfect way to get the history-filled message of the story in front of kids who may not be interested in watching a show from the 1970s.
