전기 및 작가의 여정
Isabel Wilkerson came out of Washington, D.C., with a reporter’s discipline and a historian’s memory. The daughter of Great Migration parents—her mother from Rome, Georgia, her father from Virginia, a Tuskegee Airman—she grew up sensing that family stories could illuminate national history. At Howard University, where she studied journalism and led The Hilltop, she developed the close observation that carried her into reporting at the Detroit Free Press and then The New York Times.
