Biography
Bebe Moore Campbell was born Elizabeth Bebe Moore on February 18, 1950 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. An only child, her parents Doris Edwina Carter Moore and George Linwood Peter Moore divorced three years after her birth. During the school year her mother, aunt, and maternal grandmother raised Campbell in Philadelphia, while she spent her summers with her father in North Carolina. After graduating from Philadelphia's Girls High School, she went on to attend the University of Pittsburgh, where she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in elementary education in 1971.
During her time at Pitt, Campbell was involved with the early days of the Black Action Society, an organization that she maintained interest in and contact with throughout her life. This is also when she married her first husband, her high school boyfriend Tiko Campbell, who she divorced in 1979. The couple had one child together, Maia Campbell, who later went on to become an actor.
Campbell moved to Atlanta and then Washington D.C. to teach elementary school for several years, before she began to pursue a career in writing in the mid-to-late 1970s. Starting as a freelance journalist, Campbell wrote articles for many well-known publications, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Essence, Los Angeles Times, and Ebony. Campbell also appeared on National Public Radio (NPR) as a commentator on Morning Edition. In 1984, she married Ellis Gordon Jr., who she would stay with until her death in 2006. The couple raised their two children (Maia and Ellis Gordon III, who was born from Gordon's previous marriage) in Los Angeles, California.
In 1986, Campbell published her first book; a non-fiction work entitled Successful Women, Angry Men: Backlash in the Two-Career Marriage . Her next work was a semi-autobiographical book about her childhood, Sweet Summer: Growing Up with and without My Dad , which was published in 1989.
Campbell's work touched on subjects and themes important to her, such as racial justice, childhood obesity, and mental illness. Her first novel, Your Blues Ain't Like Mine (1992), discussed a fictionalized version of the death of Emmett Till, a black teenager who was murdered for speaking in a suggestive manner to a white woman in Mississippi. Another book, Brothers and Sisters (1994) is set in Los Angeles in the aftermath of the Rodney King verdict. Other well-known works from Campbell include Singing in the Comeback Choir (1998), about a successful businesswoman who returns to her childhood Philadelphia neighborhood at the request of her aging grandmother's caretaker, What You Owe Me (2001), about the friendship and betrayal between a black hotel maid and Jewish Holocaust survivor who start a business together, and 72 Hour Hold , about a mother trying to come to grips with her daughter's mental illness.
In addition to her writing for adults, Campbell also published multiple children's books. These include Sometimes My Mommy Gets Angry (2003), which tackles a child's view of her mother's mental illness, Stompin' at the Savoy (2006), a story about a girl who gets magically transported to the famous jazz club, and I Get So Hungry (2008), which describes a child's struggle with obesity. Campbell also authored two radio plays, "Sugar on the Floor" and "Old Lady Shoes".
Campbell died from brain cancer on November 27, 2006, at age 56. She is buried in Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California. For her writings, she received three New York Times best sellers, Los Angeles Times "Best Book of 2001", New York Times Notable Book of the Year, and the NAACP Image Award for Literature.
