{"value"=>"<p>The Kinte Library Project was a Carnegie Corporation-funded project led by Alex Haley to research the history of the Black family in America through archival documentation and oral histories, with the (unrealized) goal of building a genealogical reseach center for African Americans. Reddick served as head of the archival side of the project, leading a staff of researchers investigating libraries and repositories throughout the country. These files include administrative documents, memos, and reports, as well as extensive research material and drafts of a manuscript that grew out of the project, entitled \"The Search for the Black Family.\"</p>"}
