Daddy Was a Number Runner is the first novel by American writer Louise Meriwether. It was published by Prentice Hall, with a foreword by James Baldwin, in 1970, and is now considered a modern classic. It depicts a poor black family in Harlem during the Great Depression in the first half of the 20th century, as seen through the eyes of a 12-year-old African-American girl who has one brother who wants to be a chemist and another who is a gang member. - Wikipedia I absolutely loved this evidently autobiographical tale of a black teenage girl on the cusp of womanhood in 1930s Harlem. An excellent feature of living in a multicultural country and city is that many such works are available at our libraries, and may it remain so. #LouiseMeriwether #BlackLiterature #Reading #Novels #Harlem #GreatDepression #ComingOfAge #Books
