Walter White Witness to Lynchings

August 30, 2008

Am looking forward to reading a new biography of civil rights leader Walter White from Thomas Dyja, who also wrote a novel based on White’s early career,The Moon in Our Hands.
Because White was light skinned and could “pass,” he went undercover to invetigate lynchings.
For a photo exhibit on those macabre public events, see the site for the book Without Sanctuary.
