Ben Chester White was an African American plantation worker who lived in Adams County, Mississippi in the 1960s. He was known for his hard work, kindness, and generosity towards others. Tragically, he was randomly targeted and murdered by white supremacists in 1966 as an act of retaliation against the Civil Rights Movement. His murder brought national attention to the ongoing racism and violence faced by African Americans in the South during that time, and his legacy serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in America.
