==Background==
Frank Marshall Davis was born in Arkansas City, Kansas December 31, 1905, although he gave false information about his date of birth when registering with the Selective Service in Chicago in 1940. Davis reported he had nine years of elementary school, five years of high school, one year at Friends University, three and half years at Kansas State College, Manhattan, Kansas, from September 1924 to February 1927, and from September 1929 to June 1930, studying journalism.
After College Davis went to [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia]] where he edited a newspaper for about three years. In the mid 1930s Davis moved to [[Chicago]] where he continued in the newspaper field and was employed by the Associated Negro Press.
