Kunta Kinte is a Mandinka warrior. Kunta's family is loyal to the Mandinka king. However, this means that the Kinte family faces a risk of reprisals from the rival family which trades African slaves with the English in exchange for firearms. Kunta is captured by the Koros, who sell him and other members of the Kinte family. Despite an attempted mutiny by the slaves, he was transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the colony of Virginia, where he was sold to John Waller, who owned a tobacco plantation. Kunta is renamed Toby and entrusted to Fiddler, a musical slave. With Fiddler's help, Kunta makes an escape attempt on Christmas Day, but he is captured and whipped by the overseer until he says his name is Toby, not Kunta Kinte (30 times). Kunta realizes that he will not return home to Gambia.
