About this product
Product Information
Johnson Whittaker was an African-American cadet at West Point Military Academy in the 1880s. Author Valerie A. Gray explains the racially charged atmosphere that made Whittaker's time at West Point difficult. Following a racially motivated attack on Whittaker by several white cadets, who later denied any involvement, Whittaker was court-martialed. Details of the trial, including the defense's theory that Whittaker inflicted the injuries on himself in an attempt to gain sympathy, are included. Readers are encouraged to think about the ramifications of racial bias in their own lives.Product Identifiers

ReviewsHeadline Court Cases series. Five noted trials--two from the nineteenth century and three from the twentieth--are recounted in formulaic fashion. The utilitarian texts provide background on the accused and their alleged offenses, describe arguments on each side of the case, examine the verdict, and explain the aftermath and its impact. The books are illustrated with sometimes overly dark black-and-white photos and reproductions. Bib., glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide July-December 2001
