Although he was one of the most important African American political leaders during the last decade of the nineteenth century, George Henry White has been one of the least remembered. A North Carolina representative from 1897 to 1901, White was the last man of his race to serve in Congress during the post-Reconstruction period, and nearly thirty years would pass before another African American was elected to either the House or Senate.

Justesen rescues from obscurity the fascinating story of this compelling figure's life and accomplishments.
