Belakang badannya penuh calar siksaan pedati. Keluarga wanita habuan lelaki kaya dan tentera memuaskan nafsu. Tenungan mata KUNTA-KINTE memang tajam, tajam lagi kekuatan dan semangatnya untuk memerdekakan dirinya dan kaumnya. Sakit disiksa adalah penawar untuknya bangunkan diri secara terhormat.
"Alex Haley's Pulitzer Prize-winning book `Roots' inspires all people to embrace their heritage. As we discover our personal history, we realize that all members of the human family share a universal bond.
In Roots, Alex Haley remids us that only through individual efforts will their country overcome racial and ethnic anger, guilt, hatred and fear, and remain a beacon of opportunity and hope for oppressed people around the world.
The strength and preserverance of an ancestors such as Kunta Kinte, teach universal lessons including survival through faith, strength through family, and wisdom through forgiveness"
(The Kunta Kinte - Alex Haley Memorial Story Wall Plaque'
Hari ini kaum KUNTA KINTE membuktikan, mendabik dada, megah. Dulu kami di bawah, kini kami di atas. Dulu kami diperhambakan, diseret, leher-tangan-kaki berantai besi. Kini kuasa di tangan dan kaki kami, diperoleh secara terhormat bukan merampas, bukan menindas. Inilah roda kehidupan, keturunan kulit hitam, penghuni white house, kini kehendaknya disediakan orang kulit putih. Indahnya pembalasan, natijah penganiayaan.
