Bearden was born September 2, 1911, in Charlotte. Bearden and his family moved to New York City when he was a toddler, as part of the Great Migration. After enrolling in P.S. 5 in 1917, on 141 Street and Edgecombe Avenue in Harlem, he attended P.S. 139 and then DeWitt Clinton High School.[4] In 1927 he moved to East Liberty, Pittsburgh with his grandparents[5][4] and then returned to New York City. The Bearden household soon became a meeting place for major figures of the Harlem Renaissance.[6] His father, Howard Bearden, was a pianist. Romare's mother, Bessye Bearden, played an active role with the New York City Board of Education, and also was the founder and president of the Colored Women's Democratic League. She was a New York correspondent for The Chicago Defender, an African-American newspaper.[7] Romare had Cherokee, Italian, and African ancestry.[8] The Washington Post described him as "African American."[9] His fair skin allowed him to cross boundaries which many other Black people were unable to access.[8]
