Toni Morrison's early life was steeped in black folklore, music, .
language, Myth, and history that now richly texture her fiction. .
Born as Chloe Anthony Wofford, she grew up during the Depression .
in the small steel-mill town of Lorain, Ohio, on lake Erie. Her .
maternal grandparents, Ardelia and John Solomon Willis, had been .
sharecroppers in Alabama until they migrated north in 1912 to .
Kentucky , where John Solomon, a violinist worked in a coal mine. .
Ardelia took in washing. When they discovered , however , that their .
daughters knew more about mathematics than the one-room .
schoolhouse teacher, they determined that they must move again. .
Continuing north, they settled in Lorain.
