RootsSeason 1 Episode 1
The shooting of a white couple at the hands of an alleged Black assailant makes headlines and Boston's facade as a progressive city begins to slip as its unsavory legacy of racial violence and segregation again comes to the fore; tensions escalate as police descend upon the Black community, arresting their first suspect - a Black man in Mission Hill whose possession of an Adidas tracksuit puts him in their crosshairs.
