What did the book Roots by Alex Haley have to do with civil rights?

Roots Connection with Civil Rights It had to do with emancipation and freedom, setting the stage for future civil rights to be had for all. Prior to Roots, many Americans, both black and white, incorrectly assumed that the original African slaves were "naked savages" without any culture of their own. Roots presented the rich cultural and social heritage of African Americans, and inspired a new-found pride that supported the growing civil rights movement The answer above is wrong By the time Haley's fiction book was published, all of the race discrimination civil rights laws now in effect had already been passed The book changed nothing about race relations or civil rights.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
