Alexander Murray Palmer Haley lived here and maintained a writing studio. Beginning in 1963, he conducted many in-depth interviews with Malcolm X for his first book, The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Published shortly after Malcolm X's assassination in 1965, that book transformed the public's view of Malcolm X and is widely considered one of the top works of non-fiction. His next project was the 1976 book Roots: The Saga of an American Family, for which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
