Walter White (1893–1955) was an American civil rights activist who led the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for a quarter of a century, from 1929 until his death. He directed a broad program of legal challenges to
racial segregation and
disfranchisement. Under his leadership, the NAACP oversaw the plans and organizational structure of the fight against public segregation in the United States. He worked with President
Harry S. Truman on desegregating the armed forces after
World War II and gave him a draft of
Executive Order 9981 to implement this. Under White's leadership, the NAACP set up its
Legal Defense Fund, which conducted numerous legal challenges to segregation and disfranchisement, and achieved many successes. This photograph of White was taken by
Clara Sipprell around 1950, and is in the collection of the
National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.Photograph credit:

About me
I'm a professional German-to-English science translator with 20 years of experience. I also studied history in NY and Germany, with foci on the history of women, economics and art. I'm still learning how Wikipedia works, so please accept my apologies for n00b errors and I'd welcome any constructive advice you'd like to add to my talk page.
Why am I on Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is one of the most wonderful human projects ever undertaken. I use it in almost every translation job now. Recently I was looking around for Ger>Eng history texts to translate pro bono and was delighted to find that was a way I could contribute to Wikipedia.
