Alex Haley Museum - Henning, Tennessee
Come and visit the home of the author of Roots, the tales of his African ancestors who were brought to America as slaves. For the first nine years of his life, and some summers after that, Alex Haley lived here with his grandparents. The book was turned into an eight-part television adaptation in 1977. The movie and the book were instrumental in getting millions to search for their own roots. It has been translated into over thirty languages.
