It's difficult to say for certain, but Alex Haley was sued for plagiarism by the author of a book called The African. Also, research about Kunta Kinte supposed American history - being named Toby, and the Haley identified slave ship didn't corrospond - Toby has been identified as being in America long before the slave ship was supposed to bring him across.
