Timeline

1939

Fredrick Lemuel "Fred" McKissack, Sr. (August 12, 1939 – April 28, 2013) was an African-American writer, best known for collaboration with his wife, Patricia C. McKissack on more than 100 children's books about the history of African Americans.

McKissack was born in 1939 to a prominent family of African-American architects in Nashville, Tennessee—McKissack & McKissack, "widely regarded as the oldest African-American-owned architectural and construction firm in the United States".

After high school, McKissack joined the United States Marines, before earning a degree in civil engineering from Tennessee State University.

1960

He was active in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, participating in sit-ins to end segregation.

1964

In 1964, McKissack and Patricia Leanna Carwell married, eventually having three children.

1980

In the early 1980s, the couple began writing children's books together, focusing on African-American history, which they felt was underrepresented in children's literature.

"In those days there were so few books for and about the African-American child ... Black kids needed to see themselves in books."

Patricia had been a teacher and an editor of religious books.

She did most of the writing while Fredrick focused on research.

She said later, "He was gone most of the time. He was always into an interview trying to scrounge out some little piece of information."

McKissack was survived by three brothers and five grandchildren as well as the couple's three sons: Frederick L. McKissack, Jr., and twins Robert and John.
