| Abstract |
Author Bebe Moore Campbell was born on February 19, 1950, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Campbell earned her B.S. degree in elementary education from the University of Pittsburgh in 1972. She began teaching in the Atlanta Public Schools. In 1975, she moved to Washington, D.C., where she abandoned teaching to focus on writing. She grew up in two worlds - the north and the south. During school months, she lived with her mother and grandmother in Philadelphia. In the summer, she lived with her father in North Carolina. Her experience informed the writing she would do later. In the mid-1970s, Campbell's work appeared in various publications, including The New York Times, The Los Angels Times, Essence, Ebony, and The Washington Post. She wrote eight books, three of them New York Times best sellers. Your Blues Ain't Like Mine and similar works explored interpersonal relationships. Campbell passed away on November 27, 2006 at age 56. |
