They're putting all that weight on top of old tunnels and Aquifers near a river and unstable ground to start with that's been shifting slowly for year... GOOD LUCK!

Milton alred was my uncle....my mother was his sister and Edward is my grandfather..I have the newspaper from back then and believe me when I say there is more to the story.

Roots was a plagiarised book, Alex Haley was sued as his book was a fictional story but sold to black people to perpetrate a historical false narrative. Alex Haley agreed to pay a Bethesda, Md., author about $500,000 today and publicly expressed regred that portions of a 1967 novel called "The African" had "found their way" into Haley's best-selling book, "Roots." The out-of-court settlement came in a copyright infringement suit brought by Harold Courlander of Bethesda in U.S. District Court here. Haley testified last month that although he had not read "The African" before writing "Roots," three brief passages from Courlander's work had been inadvertently incorporated in Ahley's work. Haley said this occurred because he helped to support himself by lecturing during the 12 years he worked on "Roots," and often members of the audience would pass him slips of paper with suggestions. He said he dumped these in a carton and used some of them without knowing their source. Courlander's suit cited 81 mostly brief passages allegedly similar to his novel and asked for half the profits from "Roots." Haley's lawyer and publisher delcined to estimates his earnings from "Rotts," but his royalties had topped $2.6 million on hardcover sales before the paperback appeared. Courtroom sources placed the amount of the settlement at approximately $500,000. Haley spent the afternoon on an airplane and could not be reached for comment. Courlander refused to reveal the amount, citing a pledge of secrecy made by both sides as part of the settlement. "Roots" won the Pulitzer Price and was a successful television series. Haley flew to Los Angeles immediately after today's settlement to tape a preview for a second ABC-TV miniseries based on his second book about his roots, his lawyer said. Haley was paid $1 million for the second series, ABC officials have said. all that for a false story to fool black people and they still doing it today. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1978/12/15/bethesda-author-settles-roots-suit-for-500000/f97b693c-5336-46b3-8ab0-1b19856e8964/

It’s a bigger issue when you are able to send your children somewhere they are hated without you. Still going on today with school shootings yet they still go. Do you even want children

This was great. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing…a fond memory for me was visiting your office and talking about the Harding’s

Roots was a fictional fraud.

Enjoyed this video. Thank you

Roots was proven to be fiction.

Thanks so much for the detailed history, photos, and explanation of current state and future plans. So much interesting history; I envy Allen being able to spend the time on this kind of research and synthesis.

Haley never admitted to anything. He settled a case in court. I’ve read both “The African” and “Roots” and the books are barely similar. Haley was said to have copied a scene from the slave ship. There were two paragraphs that were very similar. He also could not have known the intricate situations and conversations that took place in the book. So of course he took poetic license. I always like to point out that Haley didn’t place his book in the non fiction sections. The book is obviously historical fiction. But honestly this was a great video. I’m a amateur historian myself from Richmond, Virginia. I’ve been studying There Domestic Slave Trade for about 8 years now. Your information about the forest interview was awesome. The second inspiring thank you for your work.

Greatttt podcast ! This needs to get around very well put together and informative

Galatians 6:7 kjv

Good stuff

it happan when the fed gov took over the rail roads

What a wonderful woman and interview. I love listening to her accent, which has all but disappeared from Nashville as time has gone by.

You don't find it ironic that there are star forts literally everywhere around the world and no explanation as to how they where built.the narrative makes no sense,just admit history is a mystery.why is it always slaves building megalithic structures,people who are forced to work dont produce this type of architecture

Very knowledgable, thank you Nashville Retrospect!

Great discussion and review presentation of the history of this amazing historic ruin. Thank you Allen and Krista Castillo for taking the time to have this conversation! I thought I knew all there was to know. But I learned a few more interesting facts, thanks to Ms. Castillo's insight and research.
