White joined the NAACP in 1918 and served as its executive secretary from 1931 until his death in 1955. His recollections tell not only of his personal life, but amount to an insider's history of the association's first decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough an African American, White was fair-skinned, blond-haired, and blue-eyed.

Much of \u003ci\u003eA Man Called White\u003c\/i\u003e recounts his infiltration of the country's white-racist power structure and the numerous legal battles fought by the NAACP that were aided by his daring efforts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePenetrating and detailed, this autobiography provides an important account of crucial events in the development of race relations before 1950--from the trial of the \"Scottsboro Boys\" to an investigation of the treatment of African American servicemen in World War II, from the struggle against the all-white primaries in the South to court decisions--at all levels--on equal education.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWALTER WHITE (1893?-1955) was born in Atlanta, Georgia.
