Kunta Kinte
When Alex Haley’s Roots was released, Kunta Kinte’s story gained mainstream recognition. It even went as far as Gambia itself, where an island was named after the popular character. An undeniable cultural impact, but unfortunately it can’t be verified as factually correct. Sources don’t seem to match up, which suggests that Kunta might just be a good piece of fiction after all. Either way, the tale has inspired millions of people and brought joy into their hearts regardless.
