born 25 March 1939 in New York City
died 9 December 1995 in Wallingford, Pennsylvania
US-America writer
15. anniversary of death 9 December 2010
Editor, teacher, writer, cultural and community worker, Toni Cade Bambara was born Miltona Mirkin Cade, on March 25, 1939 to Helen Brent Henderson Cade in New York City. Toni spent her childhood and adolescent years with her mother and brother in New York City and Jersey City, New Jersey. Deeply affected by the Black Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, Toni's mother encouraged her to write, and even instructed Toni's teachers about African American history. One classmate remembers that Toni was also outspoken, and smart -- she graduated high school six months early.
In 1959, Cade received her B.A. in theater arts/English from Queens College and published her first short story, "Sweet Town." After a year in Milan, Italy, Cade returned to New York in 1962 to finish a Master's degree in modern American fiction at New York City College, while working as a social worker, occupational therapist and director of various neighborhood projects.

She is interested in the wild, the elemental: an approaching thunderstorm, twilight, winter days. She captures the atmosphere with sweeping, long brushstrokes and strong colour contrasts. In one painting, for example, she has dark masses of clouds racing along in front of a delicate winter sky. This expressive style was far ahead of her time – the picture was painted in 1878! – and alarmed her contemporaries, who found Churberg's pictures too harsh and not naturalistically idyllic enough. Not even the first prize of the Finnish Art Association in 1879 changed this. It was only some 40 years later, at a memorial exhibition, that visitors were finally able to grasp the wholly stimulating significance of her painting style.
The daughter of a doctor, Fanny was already an orphan at the age of 20. A small inherited fortune enabled her to acquire an in-depth and…read more
