I watched Roots a few days ago on youtube. I think it's a great movie. I liked it. It was my 3rd time seeing it. I watched it back in 2007 for the second time, and that was the first time since I was 11 years old.

here is something that I typed up back in 2007.

It was about Eris and Geocentric Eris Node aspects during the first televising of Roots.

ROOTS

I was watching the first Roots miniseries for the first time since I was 11 years old.
I couldn't help thinking about how the first delivery of African slave in English North America in August 1619 occurred when Eris was in the early 11 degrees of Gemini and that the Sabian Symbol for 12 degree Gemini is A Black Slave-Girl Demands Her Rights of Her Mistresss with keywords:
like rising above conditioning. Standing up for one's self. Demanding better treatment. Seeking recognition and self-respect. Being in charge of one's life. Breaking away from oppression. Wanting a raise in pay or conditions. The need for freedom. Desiring property and rewards. Rising up from an "underdog" position or situation. The quest for identity.

All those aforementioned things is what Roots was all about. It made me wonder what Eris was doing during the times that the Roots miniseries were first televised and the publication of the book,Roots. I do believe that equal rights,civil rights issues fits in with Eris.

Roots is a 1977 American television miniseries based on Alex Haley's work Roots.
It was about the ancestors of Alex Haley from all the way back to Kunta Kinte who was captured and made a slave.
The series American actors at all levels of experience. The program introduced LeVar Burton in the role of Kunta Kinte. It also starred Louis Gossett Jr. as Fiddler.

The First day televising of Roots:
I used 8 pm and New York...wasn't sure what time, but miniseries were often televised at 8 pm and New York is entertainment giant....I used the same time and place for the Roots:Next Generation televised chart. Aired on ABC..

NAACP

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP) is one of the oldest and most influential radical civil rights organizations in the United States. The NAACP was founded on February 12, 1909 by a diverse group composed of W.E.B. Du Bois (African American), Ida Wells-Barnett (African American), Henry Moskowitz (Jewish), Mary White Ovington (White), Oswald Garrison Villard (German-born White), and William English Walling (White, and son of a former slave owning family), to work on behalf of the rights of African Americans. Its name, retained in accord with tradition, is one of the last surviving uses of the term "colored people". The group is based in Baltimore, Maryland.

“She causes strife by causing arguments among men, by making them think their opinions are right and everyone else’s is wrong,” Dr. Brown said. “It really is just perfect.”
