Roots: The Next Generations is a television miniseries, introduced in 1979, continuing, from 1882 to the 1960s, the fictional story of the family of Alex Haley and their life in Henning, Lauderdale County, Tennessee, USA. [Henning is about 48 miles north of Memphis, which is on the Mississippi River and in the southwest corner of the state, and which was then the largest city in it.] This sequel to the 1977 miniseries is based on the last seven chapters of Haley's fictional novel entitled Roots: The Saga of an American Family plus additional material by Haley.
