Where is the grave of Kunta Kinte in Spotsylvania County Virginia?

Unless I'm horribly mistaken, there is no grave. Kunte Kinte was a fictional character in Alex Haley's novel "Roots", later made into a TV mini series YOU ARE MISTAKEN. KUNTA KINTE WAS NOT A FICTIONAL CHARACTER.

HE WAS THE GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER OF ALEX HALEY. HIS STORY WAS TOLD THROUGH GENERATIONS. AS AN ADULT ALEX HALEY SOUGHT OUT HIS FAMILY IN AFRICA AND CONFIRMED THE STORIES HE HAD GROWN UP HEARING.LATER.

MUCH CONTROVERSY SURROUNDED THE FACTS OF THAT VISIT AS WELL AS SOME KEY POINTS OF THE STORY. AS FOR THE LOCATION OF THE GRAVE IT IS AN UNMARKED GRAVE ASSUMED TO BE IN THE SLAVE CEMETERY ON THE GROUNDS OF THE FORMER MURRAY PLANTATION. THE SCENE IN THE MOVIE WHERE KIZZY CROSSES OUT THE NAME TOBY WAS WRITTEN SOLELY FOR THE MOVIE AND DID NOT ACTUALLY HAPPEN Yes Kunta Kinte was real & yes he is buried in Spotsylvania, Virginia.

I actually live about five minutes away from the plantation he lived on & the field he is buried in on what is now Wallers Rd in Partlow, VA Ask the Wallers whose ancestors owned a 5,000 acre plantation where Kunta Kinte lived. I would like to know if he has an actual grave site. The original plantation house still exists at the end of Wallers Road.

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.
