Haley helps Meade High School students find link to their past

Meade High School students were in awe after hearing a history lesson spanning African descendants, landmark Supreme Court decisions and the life of one extraordinary family.

George Haley, the brother of late author Alex Haley, spoke Wednesday as part of the Black History Month events at the Fort Meade school in Anne Arundel. Haley wrote “Roots: The Saga of an American Family,” a story based on their family?s African roots.
