This is a teacher's guide to the television production of Roots: The Next Generations. It was created by Prime Time School Television (PTST), an entity created in the late 1970s to “bridge the interests of educators and broadcasters . . . [by making] sure that perhaps the most effective medium of instruction in this country is put to good use by teachers and their students.” As of 1978, PTST's director, Newton N. Minow, was also the chairman of PBS, and the firm offered monthly teacher's guides via a subscription service.

This guide provided synopses of each episode, along with suggested class room activities. Each episode also has its own bibliography and provides some historical context as well.

While OCLC locates 22 titles by PTST, it finds no copies of the item on offer. Near fine. Item #5591
