Black-and-white portrait of Walter F. White, a light-skinned Black man in a suit and tie, photographed from the chest up. He has closely cropped hair and a serious expression.
He looked white but wasn’t. Walter F. White was a Black journalist who used that “invisibility” to investigate 40+ lynchings across the Jim Crow South. He risked his life pretending to be what America pretended didn’t exist.
