Kunta Lives

Some good people over at the Associated Press think Kunta Kinte actually existed:

"A 'slavery reconciliation walk' on Sept. 29 is to start at City Dock, where slave Kunta Kinte was brought into the United States and where a memorial stands in honor of him."

Umm... I seem to remember living through this; wasn't Alex Haley's Roots almost completely discredited and adjudged to be at best historical fiction, and largely plagiarized?
