Zugriff:
Joyce Carol Thomas was born Joyce Carol Haynes on May 25, 1938, in Ponca City, Oklahoma. She was the fifth of nine children and the oldest girl. In the summers, Thomas, her siblings, and her parents picked cotton to supplement her father's income as a barber. When she was ten years old, her family moved from Ponca City to Tracy, California, where they continued to earn extra money as seasonal fruit pickers. While growing up, Thomas heard stories about African American culture from her mother, aunts, and local storytellers. To these stories she added her imagination, writing poetry and plays while still a young girl.
