According to Wikipedia, Toni Cade Bambara, born Miltona Mirkin Cade , was an African-American author, documentary film-maker, social activist and college professor. Biography Early life and education Toni Cade Bambara was born in Harlem, New York, to parents Walter and Helen Cade. She grew up in Harlem, Bedford Stuyvesant , Queens, and New Jersey. At the age of six, she changed her name from Miltona to Toni, and then in 1970, changed her name to include the name of a West African ethnic group, Bambara, after finding the name written as part of a signature on a sketchbook discovered in a trunk among her great-grandmother's other belongings. With her new name, she felt it represented "the accumulation of experiences", in which she had finally discovered her purpose in the world. In 1970, Bambara had a daughter, Karma Bene Bambara Smith, with her partner Gene Lewis, an actor and a family friend.
