January 24, 1977 - The TV mini-series ''Roots,'' based on the Alex Haley novel, began airing on ABC.

The story followed an African sold into slavery, and his family’s history through emancipation. It won numerous awards and drew an enormous and broad-based audience (third-highest Nielsen ratings ever for its final episode). 85 percent of all Americans watched at least some part of the series.
