Walter White

A Rising Wind Walter White

During World War II, Walter White visited the European, North African and Pacific theaters of war, sending back to the New York Post and other periodicals accounts of what he saw. These included accounts of the experiences of black servicemen on American military bases. Historically significant, these accounts give the reader a window into the mood and culture of the era as well as the struggle for equality during a time when African-Americans risked everything for a country that, at best, was in conflict with race relations.
