The Kunta Kinte - Alex Haley Foundation

The Kunta Kinte - Alex Haley Foundation is dedicated to fostering the exploration, rediscovery, and preservation of African American history, culture, archaeology, and genealogy. The Foundation further encourages the search for ethnic "roots" among Americans of all ethnic origins. One role of the Foundation is to continue the symbolic journey begun by the late author Alex Haley in his quest for his own cultural heritage as reflected in his Pulitzer prize-winning book Roots. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, tax-exempt organization. It is an independent organization unrelated to the Estate of Alex Haley.
