You are referring to the main character(based on a true story)about the author's life, Alex Haley is the author. The book is "Roots" Kunta Kinte was his relative who was born in Spring of 1750, in Juffure, Gambia. Alex Haley travelled to Gambia to find his family roots which led to this book. I believe it begins with Kunta Kinte. The story was made as a TV series also, so I'm guessing you could find much of it on YouTube, or put "Roots" Movie clips, into your search box to see some of them. Reading the book is a great idea too! Both are excellent, and tell the story from when Haley's family who began as free men and women in Gambia, then captured as slaves, brought to the USA, and later became free again, it is a well written excellent book! A must read fr everyone! At the time the TV series came out I think it broke all records for the huge number of people who watched the whole series,and was gripping from beginning to end. A classic!
