==Early life and education==
Lynch was born on May 21, 1959 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Growing up, her mother was a school librarian and her father was a Baptist minister.〔〔("Obama to tap Loretta Lynch for AG" ), ''AP/New York Post'', November 7, 2014. Retrieved November 8, 2014.〕 As a child, she spent hours with her father, watching court proceedings in the courthouse of Durham, North Carolina. Her early interest in court proceedings was compounded by stories of her grandfather, a sharecropper and pastor, who in the 1930s helped people move to the north to escape prosecutions under the racist Jim Crow laws of the time.〔〔("Attorneys at the top succeeding in spite of dismal diversity trends" ), ''The Network Journal'', 2014. Retrieved November 4, 2014.〕 Lynch earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and American literature from Harvard College in 1981 and a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School in 1984.〔("Biographical Information for Loretta Lynch" ), AP/ABC News.
