Alex Haley, A History of the Negro in America, 1968
No full textAlex Haley was an American author and writer of several critically acclaimed novels and biographies including Malcolm X, and Roots: The Saga of an American Family. A fervent scholar of African American history, Haley here gives a presentation centered around his genealogical research in preparation for writing Roots. Referring to African Americans as “the only unwilling immigrants” to the United States, Haley traces his own roots back to the slave ship that brought his ancestors to the New World, detailing European first impressions of African culture, and vice versa.https://commons.emich.edu/lectures_presentations/1002/thumbnail.jp

Haley Hall
No full textHaley Hall When noted author Alex Haley was researching his roots, he discovered that his father, Simon Haley, had been an agricultural student at A&T. The university saw fit to build a landmark in recognition of this historic fact; thus, the construction in 1969 of Haley Hall, a residence hall for male students.https://digital.library.ncat.edu/campusbuildings/1026/thumbnail.jp
GENETIC COMPONENTS OF GROWTH AND ULTRASONIC FAT DEPTH TRAITS IN MEISHAN AND LARGE WHITE-PIGS AND THEIR RECIPROCAL CROSSES
No full textGenes from the Chinese Meishan pig have the potential to enhance reproductive performance of European pigs. In order to allow prediction of the impact of Meishan genes in a range of alternative improvement programmes all traits of economic importance must be evaluated and genetic crossbreeding effects estimated. Entire male and female pigs of four genotypes, purebred Meishan (MS) and Large White (LW) pigs and both reciprocal F1 crossbred genotypes (MS male X LW female and LW male X MS female), were farrowed in Edinburgh and subsequently performance tested at either Edinburgh or Newcastle. In Edinburgh, animals were penned in groups of four and fed ad libitum between pen mean weights of approximately 30 and 80 kg. At the end of test fat depths at the shoulder, last rib and loin were measured ultrasonically. In Newcastle, animals were penned in groups of six and fed ad libitum between pen mean weights of approximately 30 and 70 kg. Genotypic means and genetic crossbreeding effects (additive and heterosis direct effects and additive maternal effects) were estimated using restricted maximum likelihood. When compared with the LW, the direct additive effect of genes from the MS produced increased growth rate up to the time of weaning, no change in growth rate between weaning and start of test and greatly reduced growth rate during the performance test. The maternal additive effect of genes from the MS was to reduce growth rate up to the time of weaning, with little effect thereafter. There was substantial direct heterosis for growth rate in all periods measured, but heterosis was less in males than in females during the performance test. The combined effect was such that, within sex, the LW and the two crossbred genotypes were of similar ages when they reached 70 and 80 kg, but MS pigs were 38 to 60 days older. The direct additive effect of MS genes was to increase subcutaneous fat levels and there was little evidence for the effects of maternal genes or direct heterosis on these traits. There was a direct additive effect of MS genes reducing food intake and increasing food conversion ratio and there was direct heterosis for increased food intake. There were significant interactions between genotype and sex. Male and female LW pigs had a similar performance but male MS pigs had slower growth rates on the performance test with lower food intakes, food conversion ratios and subcutaneous fat levels than the females
