Charles Wilbert White (April 2, 1918 - October 3, 1979) was an American artist known for his WPA-era murals. White's best known work is The Contribution of the Negro to American Democracy, a mural from Hampton University. Charles Wilbert White was born on April 2, 1918, to Ethelene Gary, a domestic worker, and Charles White Sr, a construction and railroad worker, on Chicago's South Side. Due to his poverty, his parents couldn't afford a babysitter while they worked, so his mother dropped him off at the library. This caused a young Charles to develop an affinity for art and reading at an early age. White's mother bought him an oil painting set when White was seven years old, which got White hooked on art and painting. White also played music as a child, studied modern dance, and was part of theater groups; However, I have said that art was his true passion.
