Walter White (1893-1955) was among the nation's preeminent
champions of civil rights. With blond hair and blue eyes, he could
"pass" as white even though he identified as African American, and
his physical appearance allowed him to go undercover to investigate
more than 40 lynchings and race riots in the years following World
War I. As executive secretary of the NAACP from 1931 until his
death in 1955, White promoted the Harlem Renaissance and led
influential national campaigns against lynching, segregation in the
military, and racism in Hollywood movies. In this first scholarly
biography, Kenneth Robert Janken considers the man who embodied
many contradictions. Walter White gained access to white elite
culture, establishing friendships with Eleanor Roosevelt and
numerous congressmen and Supreme Court justices, but he ultimately
considered himself--and was considered by many--an organization
man, "Mr. NAACP."
