Bro. Dick Gregory Unchained: "Alex Haley is a Fraud & 'Django' was better than 'Roots'"
In 1978, Alex Haley, the renowned author of Roots, came under fire in a plagiarism lawsuit launched by fellow author Harold Courlander. Haley claimed he had spent a decade researching his heritage for his historical novel, which in 1977 was adapted as a wildly successful TV miniseries. That same year he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and the Spingarn Medal for the book.
A year later his reputation was forever marred. Courlander went to the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York to charge that Roots was substantially plagiarized from Courlander's own novel The African. Courlander's witnesses included Michael Wood an English professor at Columbia University and an expert on plagiarism. Wood opined in a report that the evidence of plagiarism in Roots was 'clear and irrefutable' and that the copying of passages was 'significant and extensive.'
After a five-week trial in federal district court, Courlander and Haley settled the case, with Haley making a financial settlement of $650,000 and a statement that 'Alex Haley acknowledges and regrets that various materials from 'The African' by Harold Courlander found their way into his book Roots.' Haley claimed the appropriation of Courlander's passages had been unintentional. Haley originally maintained he had never heard of The African, much less read it.

The home is open to the public as a Museum featuring Alex Haley's work, childhood memorabilia and references to the people who inspired his characters in Roots. Visitors can view the memorabilia and family artifacts that remain showcased. They also can see Alex Haley's final resting place at the front lawn of the home.

Alexander Murray Palmer Haley (August 11, 1921 – February 10, 1992) was an African-American writer. He is best known as the author of Roots: The Saga of an American Family and the co-author of The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Haley was born in Ithaca, New York, on August 11, 1921, and was the oldest of three brothers and a sister. Haley lived with his family in Henning, Tennessee, before he returned to Ithaca with his family when he was five years old. Haley's father was a professor of agriculture at Alabama A&M University. The younger Haley always spoke proudly of his father and the obstacles of racism he had overcome. Alex Haley was enrolled at Alcorn State University at age 15. Two years later he returned to his parents to inform them of his withdrawal from college. Simon Haley felt that Alex needed discipline and growth and convinced his son to enlist in the military when he turned 18. On May 24, 1939, Alex Haley began his twenty-year enlistment with the Coast Guard.
He enlisted as a mess attendant and then became a Petty Officer Third Class in the rate of Steward, one of the few rates open to African Americans at that time. His Coast Guard service number was 212-548. It was during his service in the Pacific theater of operations that Haley taught himself the craft of writing stories. It is said that during his enlistment he was often paid by other sailors to write love letters to their girlfriends. He talked of how the greatest enemy he and his crew faced during their long sea voyages wasn't the Japanese but boredom.

Bro. Dick Gregory Unchained: "Alex Haley is a Fraud & 'Django' was better than 'Roots'"
In 1978, Alex Haley, the renowned author of Roots, came under fire in a plagiarism lawsuit launched by fellow author Harold Courlander. Haley claimed he had spent a decade researching his heritage for his historical novel, which in 1977 was adapted as a wildly successful TV miniseries. That same year he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and the Spingarn Medal for the book.
A year later his reputation was forever marred. Courlander went to the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York to charge that Roots was substantially plagiarized from Courlander's own novel The African. Courlander's witnesses included Michael Wood an English professor at Columbia University and an expert on plagiarism. Wood opined in a report that the evidence of plagiarism in Roots was 'clear and irrefutable' and that the copying of passages was 'significant and extensive.'
After a five-week trial in federal district court, Courlander and Haley settled the case, with Haley making a financial settlement of $650,000 and a statement that 'Alex Haley acknowledges and regrets that various materials from 'The African' by Harold Courlander found their way into his book Roots.' Haley claimed the appropriation of Courlander's passages had been unintentional. Haley originally maintained he had never heard of The African, much less read it.

In 1978, Alex Haley, the renowned author of Roots, came under fire in a plagiarism lawsuit launched by fellow author Harold Courlander. Haley claimed he had spent a decade researching his heritage for his historical novel, which in 1977 was adapted as a wildly successful TV miniseries. That same year he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and the Spingarn Medal for the book.
A year later his reputation was forever marred. Courlander went to the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York to charge that Roots was substantially plagiarized from Courlander's own novel The African. Courlander's witnesses included Michael Wood an English professor at Columbia University and an expert on plagiarism. Wood opined in a report that the evidence of plagiarism in Roots was 'clear and irrefutable' and that the copying of passages was 'significant and extensive.'
After a five-week trial in federal district court, Courlander and Haley settled the case, with Haley making a financial settlement of $650,000 and a statement that 'Alex Haley acknowledges and regrets that various materials from 'The African' by Harold Courlander found their way into his book Roots.' Haley claimed the appropriation of Courlander's passages had been unintentional. Haley originally maintained he had never heard of The African, much less read it.

Roots: Original Mini-Series Trailer (1977)
Roots is a novel written by Alex Haley and published in 1976. It portrays the story of Kunta Kinte, an 18th-century African, captured as an adolescent and sold into slavery in the United States, and follows his life and the lives of his alleged descendants in the U.S. down to Haley. The release of the novel, combined with its hugely popular television adaptation, Roots (1977), led to a cultural sensation in the United States. By April 1977 almost two million hardcover copies of the book had been sold and 130 million people had seen all or part of the eight-episode television series. Roots is thus considered by many critics a classic in African American literature and culture. -

Hotter
Hotter
It's gettin' (hot)
It's gettin' (hot)
It's gettin' (hot)
Yeah, I know he gettin' hotter
I get him hot and bothered
So hot he needin' water
He wanna be my everything
My mama and my father (oh)
It's gettin' hotter
He wanna take it farther
But if you a'int got that paper
Papa, don't even bother
Now he tryin' harder
Die tryin' like a martyr
He playin' that story but romance
But baby I'm the author
You want me in 'yo world
Say I'm 'yo favorite girl
You wanna get to my treasures
I'm precious like a pearl
I think it's gettin' hotter
Yeah, it's gettin' hotter
My God it's gettin' hotter
Woo, it's gettin' hotter
Oh my
Oh my
Oh my
Oh my word
Like seeing you winy anxious
He wanna take me places
Walks in the park to the races
The stars and outer spaces
After me he takes
He tying my shoelace
I know he hates it when I tell him
'Baby, must be patient!'
He says it's evident
That I'm heaven sent
But it's irrelevant
When he's spending that precedence
I know that he wants me
I know that he needs me
But it's okay to be greedy
As long as he can please me
I think it's gettin' hotter
Yea, it's gettin' hotter
My God it's gettin' hotter
Woo, it's gettin' hotter
Oh my
Oh my
Oh my
Oh my word
You tell me that you care for me
And you say that you'll take care of me
Me Me Me
Now you say you wanna marry me
Me Me
Baby you're scarin' me
Me Me
Yea, I know who gettin' hotter (him)
Me[x12]
I think it's gettin' hotter
Yea, it's gettin' hotter
My God it's gettin' hotter
Woo, it's gettin' hotter
