Black Americans of Achievement: Halle Berry The book I was interested in reading was Black Americans of Achievement: Halle Berry. It was written by Rose Blue and Corinne Naden. Halle Berry was born on August 14th, 1968. She was named Halle Berry after a department store where her mother enjoyed shopping. She was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She was also known as "The Girl with the Department Store Name." She is still up and going today. Halle grew up in a suburb of Cleveland. She graduated from Bedford High School in Bedford, Ohio. She was a cheerleader, an editor, and a member of the Honor Society. Prejudice problems were a major problem for her growing up. It was the only reason she was so shy. She was called mean names to an extent to where she was recieving hurtful notes in her home mailbox. Halle was a beautiful girl though. She won homecoming queen against white girls. It was a shock to her and her school because whites did not like voting for blacks. Eight years before she was born, her parents got married. Her parents names were Judith Hawkins and Jerome Berry. A supreme court decision of 1967 made interracial marriage legal. In 1966, Heide Berry was born, Halle's older sister. They had a rough life growing up. Her father abused her mother because he was an alcoholic. Heide and Halle began to understand that they were in danger to grow up in that type of household. They couldn't leave because their father's income was the only money they had. Eventually, the father walked out
