Identify the author: This writer spent his childhood moving often as his mother got work as a maid or cook. He had an uneven education but could read the write. His Mississippi birthplace and the southern states where they moved were segregated so that he could not use public libraries, but he knew he wanted to learn. He was able to get books from a public library in Memphis when he was a young man by using a white man’s library card. His story of the fear and violence of his youth is told in his autobiographical work Black Boy.
