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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite'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, during his time. A character study of White's life and career with all these complexities has never been rendered, until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the award-winning, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/em\u003ebestselling author of \u003cem\u003eThe Accidental President, Dewey Defeats Truman, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Arsenal of Democracy, White Lies\u003c\/em\u003e uncovers the life of a civil rights leader unlike any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3161161\"\u003eA.
