As researchers have shown over the past several decades, Alex Haley's ROOTS was largely a shameful hoax.
I have just finished a play about that hoax called EPIC STORIES. It is set in 1976-77 and concerns a young black journalist who loves the book and what it represents who realizes, to his horror, that the story is a hoax.
If anyone would like to read this play with a view toward publicizing and possibly promoting it, I would be glad to send you an electronic copy.
