I made the photo myself, feel free to use it.

The marker reads:

Alex Haley's Boyhood Home

Will Palmer, a prominent Henning businessman, built this house in 1918-19. Palmer's grandson Alex Haley lived here from 1921 to 1929 and later spent many summers with his grandparents. It was on the porch that he heard the stories told by his grandmother and aunts which inspired him to write his 1976 Pulitzer Prize-winning book Roots. Millions of Americans watched an eight-part television adaption the following year.

(Please do not remove the full text of the marker, this makes it easier for blind people to convert to Braille and read it. Converting the text from the image would be hard to do. Thank you!)
