ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY!
On April 18, 1977, #AlexHaley won the Pulitzer Prize for Roots!
January 24, 1977 - The TV mini-series ''Roots,'' based on the Alex Haley novel, began airing on ABC.
The story followed an African sold into slavery, and his family’s history through emancipation. It won numerous awards and drew an enormous and broad-based audience (third-highest Nielsen ratings ever for its final episode). 85 percent of all Americans watched at least some part of the series.
Tonight in 1977 — ROOTS debuted on ABC.
LeVar Burton led an all-star cast in this Emmy-winning miniseries based on Alex Haley’s best-selling book.
