520    "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."--Amazon.
