Traditional Healing Systems of the African Diaspora is the name of the first ROOTS conference and the name of the transcribed book. The book has a detailed appendix, copies of the mayoral proclamations and lists the topics that were discussed for ROOTS 2 and 3. ROOTS 2 and 3 were never transcribed. Possibly Dr/ Anthony Andoh has them. Anyway ROOOTS 1 conference was trscribed to be as literal exact as possible.
