Alex Haley

Writer Alex Haley explored family deeply in his work, namely in his book “Roots,” which was adapted into the 1977 award-winning TV miniseries of the same name.

Often focusing on Black stories and communities in his writing, Haley was adamant that family history is crucial in shaping one’s identity.
