'''Mildred DeLois Taylor''' (born September 13, 1943) is a Newbery Award-winning American young adult novelist. She is best known for her novel ''[[Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry]]'', part of her Logan family series.<ref name="White">{{cite news |last1=White |first1=Caitlin |title=For 40th Anniversary of 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry,' Mildred D.

She did not stay in Jackson long; the [[racial discrimination]] in the South influenced the belief of her father, Wilbert Taylor, that better opportunities awaited his family in more northern states. Thus, after her first three months of life, her family moved to [[Ohio]] after her father established a [[factory]] in [[Toledo, Ohio]]. This move got her [[extended family]] to thinking about going North as well; it ended up that Mildred D. Taylor grew up surrounded by aunts, uncles, and cousins.


Taylor is known for exploring powerful themes of family and racism faced by African Americans in the [[Deep South]], in works that are accessible to young readers.<ref name="Dussey">{{cite journal |last1=Dussey |first1=Sharon L. |title=Profile: Mildred D.

But Mr. Taylor still had a love for his old home, so there were several trips to the relatives that had stayed in the South. Many stories of the family history and actual childhoods were told during those visits, and were the core inspiration for Mildred Taylor’s stories and books.


==Biography==
This storytelling time was a regular event on the trips to the South. The family storytellers recollected accounts of struggles with severe racism in the South, tragedies and triumphs; humorous yarns were told and many of the stories were about surviving and the [[African-American]] family keeping their dignity in a racist culture.
Taylor was born in [[Jackson, Mississippi]], in 1943, and is the great-granddaughter of a former slave who was the son of an African-Indian woman and a white landowner. As a young child she moved to [[Toledo, Ohio]], where she attended Toledo's public schools and eventually graduated from the [[University of Toledo]] in 1965.<ref>The Mississippi Writers Page: [http://www.olemiss.edu/mwp/dir/taylor_mildred/ "Mildred D.Taylor"] at [[University of Mississippi]]</ref> She then spent two years with the Peace Corps in Ethiopia, and, after returning to the United States, earned a master's degree in journalism at the [[University of Colorado]] where she was instrumental in creating a Black Studies Program as a member of the Black Student Alliance. She now lives in [[Colorado]].<ref>{{cite journal |title=Author Profile: Mildred D. Taylor |journal=World Literature Today |date=May 2004 |volume=78 |issue=2 |page=3 |jstor=40158381 }}</ref>
Mildred went to the University of Colorado.


Taylor's books chronicle the lives of several generations of the Logan family, from times of slavery to the Jim Crow era. Her most recognizable work is ''[[Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry]]'' (1976), which won the [[Newbery Medal]] in 1977 and has been integrated into the language arts curriculum in many classrooms across the United States. "Roll of Thunder" is flanked by several books that include titles such as ''[[Song of the Trees]]'' (1975), ''[[Let the Circle Be Unbroken]]'' (1981), ''[[The Road to Memphis (novel)|The Road to Memphis]]'' (1992), and ''[[The Land (Taylor novel)|The Land]]'' (2001).<ref>[https://www.goodreads.com/series/54001-logans "Logans series"] at Goodreads.</ref> Her collective contributions to children's literature resulted in her being awarded the inaugural [[NSK Neustadt Prize for Children's Literature]] in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-117451123.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140611123321/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-117451123.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 11, 2014|title=My life as a writer.

These anecdotes became very clear in Mildred’s mind. In fact, once she recalled that as the adults talked about the past “I began to visualize all the family who had once known the land, and I felt as if I knew them, too...” Taylor has talked about how much history was in the stories; some stories took place during times of [[slavery]] and some post-slavery.


Taylor's works are based on [[oral history]] told to her by her father, uncles, and aunt. Taylor has said that without her family, and especially without her father, her books "would not have been".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Taylor |first1=Mildred D. |title=Tapped on the Shoulder |journal=World Literature Today |date=September 2014 |volume=88 |issue=5 |pages=60–61 |doi=10.7588/worllitetoda.88.5.0060|s2cid=163585035 }}</ref> She has stated that these anecdotes became very clear in her mind, and in fact, once she realized that adults talked about the past, "I began to visualize all the family who had once known the land, and I felt as if I knew them, too&nbsp;..."<ref>{{cite news |title=Acceptance of the [[Boston Globe–Horn Book Award]] for ''The Friendship'' |work=[[The Horn Book Magazine]] |date=March 1989 |pages=179–80}}</ref>
Her saga about the Logan family is really based on her whole family history. For example, it starts out with ''The Land'', which is based on the stories she heard about her great-grandfather, who was the son of a white [[plantation]] owner and a black woman in [[Alabama]] and how he purchased land in [[Mississippi]]. She is currently working on her last book, ''Logan'', that finishes the saga off with the Logan family moving from Mississippi to Ohio.

Mildred DeLois Taylor (born September 13, 1943) is a Newbery Award-winning American young adult novelist. She is best known for her novel Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, part of her Logan family series.[1][2]

Taylor is known for exploring powerful themes of family and racism faced by African Americans in the Deep South, in works that are accessible to young readers.[3] She was awarded the 1977 Newbery Medal[4] for Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and the inaugural NSK Neustadt Prize for Children's Literature in 2003. In 2020 she received the Coretta Scott King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement from the American Library Association, and in 2021, she won the Children's Literature Legacy Award.[5][6]

Biography

[edit]

Taylor was born in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1943, and is the great-granddaughter of a former slave who was the son of an African-Indian woman and a white landowner. As a young child she moved to Toledo, Ohio, where she attended Toledo's public schools and eventually graduated from the University of Toledo in 1965.[7] She then spent two years with the Peace Corps in Ethiopia, and, after returning to the United States, earned a master's degree in journalism at the University of Colorado where she was instrumental in creating a Black Studies Program as a member of the Black Student Alliance. She now lives in Colorado.[8]

Taylor's books chronicle the lives of several generations of the Logan family, from times of slavery to the Jim Crow era. Her most recognizable work is Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry (1976), which won the Newbery Medal in 1977 and has been integrated into the language arts curriculum in many classrooms across the United States. "Roll of Thunder" is flanked by several books that include titles such as Song of the Trees (1975), Let the Circle Be Unbroken (1981), The Road to Memphis (1992), and The Land (2001).[9] Her collective contributions to children's literature resulted in her being awarded the inaugural NSK Neustadt Prize for Children's Literature in 2003.[10]

Taylor's works are based on oral history told to her by her father, uncles, and aunt. Taylor has said that without her family, and especially without her father, her books "would not have been".[11] She has stated that these anecdotes became very clear in her mind, and in fact, once she realized that adults talked about the past, "I began to visualize all the family who had once known the land, and I felt as if I knew them, too ..."[12]
