It received more than 200 awards, including a special Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award for its contribution to American history. In 1977, ABC-TV produced an eight-part television series of Roots, an event that garnered one of the largest audiences in the history of American television—an estimated 130 million Americans watched at least one episode. <br />In a <span style="font-style: italic">Boston Globe </span>article in 199 <br />Haley grew up in Henning, Tennessee, and was educated at ElizabethCityStateTeachers College in North Carolina (1937-39). He joined the United States Coast Guard in 1939. Haley began writing to occupy his time during long sea voyages. In 1952, the Coast Guard named him chief journalist—the first to hold this title—and Haley managed the Guard&rsquo;s public relations. <br />Alex Haley was an American journalist, biographer, and author, whose works of historical fiction and reportage chronicled the stories and struggles of African Americans and, because of their popularity and approach, became part of American heritage. Haley&rsquo;s <span style="font-style: italic">The Autobiography of Malcolm X </span>(1965) and <span style="font-style: italic">Roots: The Saga of an American Family </span>(1976) are considered significant contributions to the study of African-American history, and Haley is credited with popularizing pursuit in the fields of black history and genealogy. <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">Criticism, Controversy, and </span><span style="font-weight: bold">Stanley</span><span style="font-weight: bold"> Crouch</span> <br /><span style="font-style: italic">Roots</span>, however, was not without its controversies. Margaret Walker (<span style="font-style: italic">Jubilee</span>, 1966) and Harold Courlander (<span style="font-style: italic">The African</span>, 1967) filed plagiarism lawsuits against Haley. (In 1978, Haley settled an out-of-court lawsuit with Courlander for $650,<a href="http://www.sneakers4sales.com/air-jordan-1/air-jordan-4-iv-6" target="_blank">Jordan Retro 4</a>,000.) Additionally, some critics questioned the book&rsquo;s accuracy and its legitimacy as a work of American history. <br />In 1962, Haley sold an interview with jazz musician Miles Davis to <span style="font-style: italic">Playboy</span>, which began the magazine's famous interview series. Haley&rsquo;s series ran from 1962-92,<a href="http://www.sneakers4sales.com/nike-air-max-92/nike-air-max-95-573/" target="_blank">Nike Air Max 95</a>, during which time he interviewed talk show host Johnny Carson; Martin Luther King, Jr.; Muhammad Ali; George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party; and Malcolm X. <br />Haley&rsquo;s interview in 1962 with Malcolm X,<a href="http://www.sneakers4sales.com/asics-97" target="_blank">Asics Shoes</a>, black nationalist and spokesperson for the Black Muslim faith of the Nation of Islam, led to his first book, <span style="font-style: italic">The Autobiography of Malcolm X</span>. This ghostwritten, collaborative book recounts Malcolm X&rsquo;s life in his own words and the evolution of his political and religious thought. It received high praise from critics and significantly influenced the black power movement in the U.S. Malcolm X did not live to see the book published—he was assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City shortly before it went to press. <br />In 1959, after 20 years of military service, Haley retired, settled in New York&rsquo;s Greenwich Village, and launched a new career as a freelance writer. He published his work in the <span style="font-style: italic">Saturday Evening Post</span>, <span style="font-style: italic">Harper&rsquo;s</span>, <span style="font-style: italic">Reader&rsquo;s Digest</span>, and the <span style="font-style: italic">New York Times Magazine</span>. <br />Read on <br />Sarah Josepha Hale (1788-1879) <br />Katharine Meyer Graham Makes Her Mark on the Washington Post <br />Mother and Daughter Journalists Agnes Meyer and Katharine Graham <br />Haley spent the next 12 years researching and writing <span style="font-style: italic">Roots,</span> his most successful and momentous work. Tracing his maternal ancestry back to a Mandingo youth named Kunta Kinte, who was kidnapped into slavery from the West African village of Juffure, Haley&rsquo;s epic book—part fact, part fiction—covers seven generations of Haley&rsquo;s American family and confronts America&rsquo;s tragic history of slavery. <br />相关的主题文章： <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.wwwnorthwestairlinecom78.fora.pl/www-northwest-airline-com,1/jordan-4-the-higgins-boat-landing-craft-was-decisi,3541.html#3549" target="_blank">Jordan 4 The Higgins Boat Landing Craft Was Decisi</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://organonhomoeopathy.forumup.com/viewtopic.php?p=15869&mforum=organonhomoeopathy#15869" target="_blank">Air Jordan 13 Teach Yourself How to Lucid Dream</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.compazinebre.fora.pl/compazine-safety-info,1/air-max-1-the-2012-superstition-about-the-end-of-t,3423.html#3425" target="_blank">Air Max 1 The 2012 Superstition About the End of t</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/AcidTechTiger/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
