Charles W. Chesnutt portrait Save
Description: Charles Waddell Chesnutt was an African American writer born on June 20, 1858, in Cleveland, Ohio to free African Americans. Both of his grandmothers may have been multiracial; and it is possible both of his grandfathers may have been white. Thus, he could have passed for white, but chose to be known as African-American.
He taught school and wrote books on race relations. He died on November 17, 1932 in Cleveland, Ohio. View on Ohio Memory.
