Courlander claimed that plots in Haley’s Roots were directly lifted from The African. Haley argued that the story was exclusively that of his own family’s rise from slavery in America. The lawsuit made headlines throughout the United States during the summer and fall of 1978. After six weeks of testimony, Haley offered to settle the case. He expressed his regret to Courlander, and made a financial settlement. Haley’s reputation was damaged, while the integrity of Courlander was maintained. For a brief time, Courlander’s name was noted outside the small circle who had always been familiar with his work.
