Her mother's parents had left Greenville, Alabama, around 1910 after they lost their farm because of debts that they could not repay. Her father's family left Georgia and moved north to escape sharecropping and violence against African Americans in the South. Both families settled in the steel-mill town of Lorain on Lake Erie. Morrison grew up during the Great Depression in the 1930s, and Her father supported the family by working three jobs for seventeen years. Morrison gives credit to her parents for instilling the love of reading, music and folklore along with clarity and perspective.
