Alex Haley Foundation

Mission Statement

The Foundation's mission is to spread Alex Haley's vision of a world that celebrates ethnic diversity while honoring humankind's common, universal experiences. Through educational and cultural programs, public forums and research, the Foundation is dedicated to stimulating greater interest in culture, history, art, archeology, anthropology, and genealogy, and to encouraging people of all ethnic backgrounds to search for their own "roots."" The Foundation's vision is to become the world's premier organization for Africans and all others to come to for a fuller awareness and appreciation of their history, the universality of human experiences.
