February the 7th Black History Wod:
“From Kunta Kinte to Toby”
Kunta survived the trip to Maryland and was sold to John Waller (Reynolds in the 1977 miniseries), a Virginia plantation owner in Spotsylvania County, who renamed him Toby (named by John’s wife Elizabeth in the 2016 remake). He rejected the name imposed upon him by his owners and refused to speak to others.
Kunta Kinte is a character in the 1976 novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family by American author Alex Haley. Kunta Kinte was based on one of Haley’s ancestors, a Gambian man who was born in 1750, enslaved, and taken to America where he died in 1822.
