One of the United States' leading cultural critics, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is both an eloquent commentator and formidable intellectual force on multicultural and African American issues. Born and raised in Piedmont, West Virginia, Gates grew up during a period of racial transition in the 1950s and 1960s. This era, filled with dramatic history of both segregation and integration, influenced Mr. Gates deeply and is reflected in his writings.
