It's the tale of Haley's paternal grandmother, Queen Haley - her dramatic and extraordinarily painful life. Haley, who died last year, didn't live to see it, but that story became 'Queen,' an outstanding six-hour miniseries that airs Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday on CBS (8 p.m. 'And two hours later Alex is still talking and telling us the story.' 'He said, `I'm thinking about doing a book about my father's side of the family. Remember, history only repeats itself, but in a different version.ALMOST FOUR years ago, Alex Haley sat down to lunch with David Wolper, who produced the miniseries 'Roots' and 'Roots: The Next Generations.' This is a movie for everyone to enjoy and even those who never experienced slavery inform your children that this is what happened to slaves because others had the power to control and degrade others just because they could. This movie has sad and happy times, but the characters in this movie played their role and we have to say this is reality back in slavery time and has manifest into other issues with the same pattern.

Then the saga continues with meeting someone who understand you and try to be there for you and your children and until then you realize this is where you belonged in the movie with Danny Glover who went through a lot because Queen was scared and bitter. History has repeated itself in a different version today where black men are incarcerated and the single parent is left to raise the child alone. This movie is very realistic when the black man was Lynched by the Klan’s in so many ways has destroyed the families for decades. The movie struck me because as an African American light skinned woman as Jasmine Guy and her daughter Hailey Berry experienced what has happened for years with the fair skinned women sleeping with the Master and not being recognized because of the color of your skin and hiding the truth because this was unheard because you’re black. It's a movie that entails a black woman’s struggles with slavery and how she was not acknowledged because of her skin color and was not suppose to be able to read back in those times. The actors and actresses playing in this movie were phenomenal. This is an awesome movie written by Alex Haley in his memory.
