Her maternal grandparents were sharecroppers from Alabama who had moved north in the hope of finding a better life for their children and escaping the racial injustice of the South.Īlthough Morrison’s parents, George and Ramah Willis Wofford, struggled to raise their family in an America ravaged by the Great Depression and segregation, the Woffords instilled a great love and pride for black culture and language in their children, surrounding them with folktales and music passed down from their ancestors.
