editWendell Pierce was born inNew Orleans,Louisiana,one of three sons of a teacher and a decoratedWorld War IIveteran who worked as a maintenance engineer.[2]His father's segregatedArmyunit helpedMarineswin theBattle of Saipanin 1944. Pierce has said of his father's experience:
"My father fought in World War II, loved this country when this country wasn't loving him back. My father fought in Saipan, came back, was awarded medals and were denied them by a white officer who said, no, not you, not your unit. There was nothing that this country was doing for him or to him that would make him love this country. And in spite of all of that, he gave us a love for country because of the values that we are aspiring to as a nation."[3]
Pierce was raised in the black middle-class community ofPontchartrain Park,the first African-American post-war suburb. His father, along with many other black veterans, moved into the neighborhood after returning home from the war. The neighborhood was wiped out duringHurricane Katrinain 2005, including Pierce's family home which was flooded by 14 feet (4.3 m) of water.[4][5]
