To ensure an accurate depiction of his ancestor's crossing of the Atlantic in a slave ship, Haley took a freighter from Africa to the United States, climbing down into the ship's cold dark cargo hold to lie on the rough planks stripped down to his underwear. Kunta's initial difficulty understanding and respecting American-born blacks, the selling of his daughter to the owner of a distant plantation, rape by her new master, and the economic struggle they faced in the post-slavery period...

...Saturday, June 26, two men-one dressed in a Purolator security-guard uniform, the other in a business suit-began making the rounds of cargo rooms at Heathrow in a Ford Granada. Their first stop was the overseas division of British Airways. There, they asked for the return of three packages of currency bound for banks abroad. The packages, they said, had been prepared improperly by Purolator. After they presented credentials that police later said were "impeccable," airline officials handed the money over.
