Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Alex Palmer Haley (1921-1992) American biographer, scriptwriter, author who became famous with the publication of the novel ROOTS, which traces his ancestry back to Africa and covers seven American generations as they are taken slaves to the United States. The book was adapted to television series, and woke up an interest in genealogy, particularly among African-Americans. Haley himself commented that the book was not so much history as a study of mythmaking: "What Roots gets at in whatever form, is that it touches the pulse of how alike we human beings are when you get down to the bottom, beneath these man-imposed differences." He said that three groups of people lived in every village. First were those you could see - walking around, eating, sleeping, and working. Second were the ancestors, whom Grandma Yaisa had now joined. "And the third people - who are they?" asked Kunta. "The third people," said Omoro, "are those waiting to be born."

ALEX HALEY Author Haley wrote Roots , one of the most celebrated novels of the 1970s. Haley spent 20 years in the Coast Guard (1939-59) then began a second career as a writer, working for magazines ranging from Reader's Digest to Playboy . Haley's first major book was as a ghost-writer: The Autobiography of Malcolm X was published in 1965 and became a major hit. Haley spent years tracing his own family back to a single African man, Kunta Kinte , who was captured in Gambia and taken to America as a slave around 1767. That discovery led to Haley's epic book Roots, published in 1976 to wide acclaim. The next year the television miniseries Roots ran for a week on network TV and became a national phenomenon. Roots won a Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and Haley is often credited with inspiring interest in genealogy among African-Americans. Extra credit : Actors LeVar Burton and John Amos played Kunta Kinte in the miniseries Roots ; others in the cast included Maya Angelou Ed Asner and even O.J. Simpson ... Haley was played by James Earl Jones in a sequel miniseries

AALBC Home Author Index Back Author Home ... Buy Any Book Alex Haley Journalist, writer; born in Ithaca, N.Y. He grew up in Henning, Tenn., studied at Elizabeth City (N.C.) Teachers' College (1937-39), and became a journalist while serving in the U.S. Coast Guard (1939-59). Retiring from the service, he established himself in Los Angeles as a free-lance writer, distinguished by his Playboy interviews. He first gained some national attention as the collaborator-editor of The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1965). His highly acclaimed work, Roots: The Saga of an American Family (1976, Pulitzer Prize) turned out to be a mixture of fact and fiction but was definitely based on his African-American roots; he had spent 12 years researching his ancestry and claimed to trace it to a Kunte Kinte, brought as a slave to America from Gambia in 1767. The book was the basis of a phenomenally successful television miniseries (1977), for which he received a special Pulitzer Prize and the Spingarn Medal. A sequel, Queen (1993), also appeared as a book and television miniseries.

"Citizens in Support of the Sea Services" U.S. Navy U.S. Marine Corps U.S. Flag Merchant Marine U.S. Coast Guard Archives USCG Honors Author Alex Haley in Commissioning of Latest Cutter Sea Services By RICHARD R. BURGESS Managing Editor The Coast Guard has fulfilled a promise made two years ago to name a cutter after its first chief journalist, the late Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alex Haley. The former Navy salvage and rescue ship Edenton (ATS 1) has been converted into a 282-foot medium-endurance cutter and commissioned in the Coast Guard as the USCGC Alex Haley (WMEC 39). The new cutter is believed to be the first U.S. military ship named for a journalist. Haley, famed for his best-selling book Roots , served in the Coast Guard for 20 years, beginning in 1939 as a steward and retiring in 1959 as a chief journalist. Haley, who started writing as a hobby, was valued by his shipmates for his talent in "ghostwriting" love letters for them. His writing talent was recognized with an assignment to the Coast Guard's public affairs office in New York. After retiring from the Coast Guard, Haley continued his writing career and also worked to promote literacy and education. He died in 1992. Secretary of Transportation Rodney E. Slater was the keynote speaker at the 10 July commissioning ceremonies at the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, Md. Also in attendance were Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.), Coast Guard Commandant Adm. James M. Loy, Haley's first wife Nannie Haley, his oldest son William Haley, his daughter Lydia Haley, his sister Lois Butts Haley, his brother Julius Haley, and his daughter-in-law Doris Haley (whose husband, U.S. Ambassador to Gambia George Haley, was unable to attend).

Haley, Alex, Haley on the set of Roots, in full ALEX PALMER HALEY (b. Aug. 11, 1921, Ithaca, N.Y., U.S.d. Feb. 10, 1992, Seattle, Wash.), American writer whose works of historical fiction and reportage depicted the struggles of American blacks. Although his parents were teachers, Haley was an indifferent student. He began writing to avoid boredom during voyages while serving in the U.S. Coast Guard (1939-59). His first major work, The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1965), was an authoritative and widely read narrative based on Haley's interviews with the Black Muslim spokesman. The work is recognized as a classic of black American autobiography. Haley's greatest success was Roots: The Saga of an American Family (1976). This well-researched genealogyborn of the history recited by Haley's maternal grandmothercovers seven American generations, from the enslavement of Haley's African ancestors to his own genealogical quest. The work forcefully shows relationships between generations and between races. Roots was adapted as a multi-episode television program, which, when first broadcast in January 1977, became one of the most popular shows in the history of American television. That same year Haley won a special Pulitzer Prize. A successful sequel was first broadcast in February 1979 as
