Countee Cullen
Countee Cullen (May 30, 1903 – January 9, 1946) born as Countee Porter, was an American poet, author and scholar who was a leading figure in the Harlem Renaissance. (He pronounced his name "Coun-tay," not "Coun-tee."〔Darryl Pinckney, "(Countee Cullen: The Reluctant Lamb" ), ''The New York Review of Books'', March 21, 2013, p. 42.〕)
==Early life==
Countee Cullen was possibly born on May 30,〔; cf. Perry: 3〕 although due to conflicting accounts of his early life, a general application of the year of his birth as 1903 is reasonable.〔Shucard: 5-6〕 He was either born in New York,〔Perry: 3〕 Baltimore, or Lexington, Kentucky, with his widow being convinced he was born in Lexington.〔 Cullen was possibly abandoned by his mother, and reared by a woman named Mrs. Porter, who was probably his paternal grandmother. Porter brought young Countee to Harlem when he was nine.〔 She died in 1918.〔 No known reliable information exists of his childhood until 1918 when he was taken in, or adopted, by Reverend and Mrs Frederick A. Cullen of Harlem, New York City.〔Shucard: 5-6; cf. Perry: 3-4〕 The Reverend was the local minister, and founder, of the Salem Methodist Episcopal Church.〔Perry: 3-4; cf. Shucard: 9〕
