Line 10:
The first ''Roots'', the generally better received one, went only up through the [[American Civil War|Civil War]], while a 1980 [[Sequel]], ''Roots: The Next Generations'', picked up in 1865 and went through to Alex Haley himself, culminating in Haley visiting Kunte Kinte's home village in the 1970s.
1988 brought a third (fictional) entry: ''Roots: The Gift.'' This was a single two-hour side story, bringing back LeVar Burton as Kunta Kinte. As a piece of trivia, this film features a few actors who would be in ''Star Trek'' productions, just as Burton was. Avery Brooks ([[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Captain Benjamin Sisko]]), Kate Mulgrew ([[Star Trek: Voyager|Captain Kathryn Janeway]]), and Tim Russ ([[Star Trek: Voyager|Lieutenant Tuvok]]).
