Author Biography
George Wylie Henderson, born in Warriorstand, Alabama, relocated to Wetumpka with his family, where his father served as a minister. Later, the family moved to Tuskegee when his father became pastor of Butler Chapel AME Zion Church. Henderson pursued his education at Tuskegee Institute, where he gained proficiency in the printing trade and graduated in 1922. Subsequently, he settled in New York City, working as a linotype operator for the New York Daily News. Henderson's literary career commenced with the publication of short stories in the Daily News, followed by the release of his well-received novel, Ollie Miss, in 1935. Despite facing mixed reception for his second novel, Jule, Henderson continued writing and was working on his unfinished third novel, Baby Lou and the Angel Bud, until his passing.
