== Early life ==
Coates was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to father William Paul "Paul" Coates, a Vietnam War veteran, former Black Panther, publisher and librarian, and mother Cheryl Waters, who was a teacher. Coates' father founded and ran Black Classic Press, a publisher specializing in African-American titles. The Press grew out of a grassroots organization, The George Jackson Prison Movement. Initially the GJPM operated a Black book store called the Black Book. Later Black Classic Press was established with a table top printing press in the basement of the Coates family home. 〔 Coates' father had seven children, five boys and two girls, by four women. Coates' father's first wife had three children, Coates' mother had two boys, and the other two women each had a child. The children were raised together in a close-knit family; most lived with their mothers and at times lived with their father. Coates said he lived with his father the whole time.〔 In Coates' family, Coates said that the important overarching focus was on rearing children with values based on family, respect for elders and being a contribution to your community. This approach to family was not uncommon in the community where he grew up.〔 Coates grew up in the Mondawmin neighborhood of Baltimore〔 during the crack epidemic.〔
Coates' interest in books was instilled at an early age when his mother in response to bad behavior would require him to write essays. His father's work with the Black Classic Press was a huge influence on Coates, who said he read many of the books his father published.〔 Coates attended a number of Baltimore-area schools, including William H. Lemmel Middle School and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, before graduating from Woodlawn High School. Coates' father got a job as a librarian at Howard University, which enabled some of his children to attend with tuition remission.〔
After high school, Coates attended Howard University. He left after five years to start a career in journalism. He is the only child in his family without a college degree.〔〔("The guest list" ). ''Vibe'', November 2004.〕 In the summer of 2014, Coates attended an intensive program in French at Middlebury College to prepare for a writing fellowship in Paris.
