It has supported the actions of the Muslim World League -- MWL in America. Saudi Arabia has also promoted good relations with the Afro-American Muslim community.

Kunta Kinte:

Kunta Kinte is the main figure in Alex Haley's 1976 book Roots. According to research, by Haxley, Kinte was 17 when he was arrested and taken to America as a slave on board the ship named Lord Ligonier in 1767. Roots sketch the lives of Kinte and his children down to Haley himself who was Kinte's great great-grandson. (Kunta Kinte: (www.who2.com)

As per the research done by Alex Haley, Kunta Kinte was an African from The Gambian town of Jufferee. As per the Haley family history he was vended into slavery in a town called Naplis. Haley's research found a slave ship, the Lord Ligonier, which drifted from Gambia River on July 5, 1767, with 140 imprisoned Gambians. It came to Annapolis, Maryland on September 29 in the year 1767, with only 98 alive. Haley found that one of those survivors was a seventeen-year-old Kunta Kinte. The Africans were vended into slavery. Kinte would have been bought at the ship or in one of the local inns or restaurants. He was then taken to a farm in Virginia where he carried on with his American heritage. Kinte's coming in Annapolis is representational of the slave trade period when millions of African men, woman and children were imprisoned and sent to the New World. Kinte was alive to narrate his story, a story that was narrated in the book Roots by his descendent Alex Haley. (Kunta Kinte: (www.kintehaley.org)
