The television show Roots, based on the book of the same name by Alex Haley, premiered in 1977 and quickly became the most watched TV show of all time. The wrenching story of Kunta Kinte and seven generations of his descendants sparked new debates in post Civil Rights America, where people of color struggled for equality- a struggle that continues in 2017 America. Cuatro Puntos is doing a month-long residency with students of Grace Academy Hartford, which will culminate in a performance with Alika Hope, Cuatro Puntos, and students.
