The day Walter White<\/a> was buried in 1955 the New York Times<\/em> called him \u201cthe nearest approach to a national leader of American Negroes since Booker T. Washington<\/a>.\u201d For more than two decades, White, as secretary of the NAACP<\/a>, was perhaps the nation’s most visible and most powerful African-American leader. He won passage of a federal anti-lynching law, hosted one of the premier salons of the Harlem Renaissance<\/a>, created the legal strategy that led to Brown v. Board of Education<\/a><\/em>, and initiated the campaign demanding that Hollywood<\/a> give better roles to black actors. Driven by ambitions for himself and his people, he offered his entire life to the advancement of civil rights in America.<\/p>\n
