An open letter

To the Entertainment Media,

Failure to nominate an individual or a film for an award is not a "snub".

Roots

I've been meaning to read Roots by Alex Haley* ever since I watched the television series, probably some time in the 80s. Having recently completed Gone With The Wind I thought the time was right to track down a copy and see what slavery looked like from the other side, so to speak.

( Usual review disclaimer, particularly noting the lack of depth of analysis this really deserves )
