Kunta Kinte was a Mandinka warrior who worked as a blacksmith in his village of Juffure in The Gambia.
Kunta Kinte is a character from the novel "Roots: The Saga of an American Family" written by Alex Haley, which was published in 1976. The character is based on Haley's ancestor who was captured in Gambia and sold into slavery in America in the late 18th century.
Kunta Kinte's foot was cut off as a punishment after he repeatedly tried to escape from slavery. It was done to serve as a deterrent to other enslaved individuals and as a way to assert dominance and control.
Kunta Kinte did not escape. He was captured and enslaved in Africa, then transported to America where he lived the rest of his life as a slave. His story is depicted in Alex Haley's book "Roots: The Saga of an American Family."
