She was raised in a middle class housing project and attended Thomas Jefferson High School in East New York, the same school that both of her parents graduated from. Her father, Ben Schneberg, was born in Brownsville (Brooklyn) in 1915, and her mother, Esther Schneberg, was born in East New York (Brooklyn) in 1920. Both of her parents were first generation Americans—Ben’s parents emigrated from Austria, while Esther’s father was from Romania and her mother was from Austria. Ben was a middle school teacher and later became a law librarian, working on Wall Street for Berlack, Israels & Lieberman. For over twenty years Esther was a high school English teacher at Thomas Jefferson High School, an inner-city school. She was a substitute teacher when Willa attended, and then later became a full-time English teacher. Esther eventually became the head of College Discovery, an affirmative action program whose aim was to help minority students get into college. Many of her students were the first members of their families to attend college and a number were accepted into Ivy League schools.
