Autor local din Cleveland, Ohio, Statele Unite ale Americii
Charles W. Chesnutt (1858–1932) was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to free Black parents from North Carolina, grew up in Fayetteville after the Civil War, and came back to Cleveland in 1884, where he worked as a court stenographer and lawyer for the rest of his life. His stories in The Atlantic Monthly made him one of the first Black American writers published by the major magazines and book houses.
