Mr. Hailey wrote the book "ROOTS". He wrote it as a fictional story. By him being in a fraternity he found a publisher that took on the task to advertise and print his book. He became famous. But as he noticed by further investigation that his book printed had passages changed, he questioned the publisher. What he heard was not satisfactory. So, Mr. Hailey sued the book Company. Now, why would a fictional story be changed by the Publisher? The book was a hit. The Motion Picture Industry adapted the changed story of Mr. Hailey to a Fantasy story. Roots was written by Hailey as a fiction. This was changed into a fantasy story by his publisher. Hollywood produced a fairy tale out of. The book Uncle Tom's Cabin was managed the same way. The female member of the tribe of David was the author. The book was changed. Later in the changed story called Uncle Tom's Cabin was made by Hollywood into a fairy tale story. One might think what these people do to the real History books, if they all the time meddle with the fictional stories and can't even leave those alone. Honesty is not a principle that Hollywood, book Publishing houses and Television are based on. He can't be honest as he won't establish the who and why this was done to his work. He also wrote the Authobiography of Malcolm X. We won't hear how that went...not from him.
