Dr My Haley & Alex Haley to me are African American Royalty, My heros, They change the world by the miniseries Roots, showed people up close to what slavery was all about. You can imagine how I felt meeting & interviewing one of my heroes 7 years ago. One thing I learned. Be careful who you call a hero was not prepared for what I found out. Dr Haley & I became friends after the interview.. we called each other at home, had long talks..I was thinking about her recently gave her a call, while i was waiting for the call back I did some research current day..found out.EXCLUSIVE: A secret marriage, affair after affair and dying in the arms of his mistress - how Roots author Alex Haley taught the world to love genealogy but never told the truth about his own family life roots author Alex Haley is considered the father of popular genealogy. But his widow My Lewis, 68, has told how he demanded she keeps her contribution to Roots and their 15-year marriage under wraps for years. Lewis met five of Haley's mistresses at the celebrated author's funeral,, Now some things in that interview 7 years ago makes sense  I did not know this then....and then there more..Bury secrets do come alive..Listen to the interview
