Author Description

DISCLAIMER: As a result of our concise summaries, we are confident that more readers will be introduced to the actual book who might otherwise have turned a blind eye because of the idea into reality. We hope that readers will use this SUMMARY OF WHITE LIES: The Double Life of Walter F. White and America's Darkest Secret as an introduction or a companion to the original work rather than as a substitute for reading the whole book. Walter F. White led two lives: one as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance and the NAACP in the early twentieth century; the other as a white newspaperman who covered lynching crimes in the Deep South at the blazing height of racial violence. Born mixed race and with very fair skin and straight hair, White was able to “pass” for white. He leveraged this ambiguity as a reporter, bringing to light the darkest crimes in America and helping to plant the seeds of the civil rights movement. White’s risky career led him to lead a double life. He was simultaneously a second-class citizen subject to Jim Crow laws at home and a widely respected professional with full access to the white world at work. His life was fraught with internal and external conflict—much like the story of race in America. Starting out as an obscure activist, White ultimately became Black America’s most prominent leader. A character study of White’s life and career with all these complexities has never been rendered, until now. CLICK THE BUY NOW BUTTON TO GRAB THIS VALUABLE BOOK NOW!
