==Early life==
Mitchell was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and spent most of her childhood there. Mitchell went to an all-black school during the time that schools were still segregated. Her mother and father did not finish school, dropping out in third and fifth grade to work, yet they both strongly encouraged and required that Mitchell finish her schooling. She attended Booker T. Washington High School and was widely involved, graduating as a Top Ten Senior. Once Mitchell graduated from high school, she went to business college for two years—going at night, working in the day—to pay her own way, with the intention that once she completed that and was employed, she could pay her way through college.

On January 2, 1967, the young family moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma for Earl to complete his PhD. Earl was offered a position in the Biochemistry Department and accepted it, making the family's temporary stay in Stillwater a more permanent home.
