Charles W. Chesnutt was an African-American author, essayist, and lawyer known for exploring race, identity, and social justice in American literature. His notable works include ‘The Conjure Woman’ (1899), ‘The House Behind the Cedars’ (1900), and ‘The Marrow of Tradition’ (1901), blending folklore, realism, and social critique.
