Biography

Born in Stuart, Florida, White attended Florida A&M College and Howard University College of Medicine. White, a World War II veteran, trained at the Freedmen's Hospital in Washington and at Memorial Hospital in New York (later known as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) before taking a faculty position at Howard.[1] At Memorial Sloan Kettering, he became the first black physician to complete training in surgical oncology there.[1] He mentored LaSalle D. Leffall Jr., who was a future Howard faculty member and a future president of the American Cancer Society.[2]

White became director of Howard's cancer center as well as its cancer training and research programs.[1] He served on drug advisory panels for the Food and Drug Administration, and he was a consultant to several foreign countries. He retired from Howard in 1986, but he continued to serve as a cancer adviser to groups in Washington, D.C.[3]

In 1977, White was elected to the Institute of Medicine.[4] He died of cancer in 1988.[3] He was recognized by the American Cancer Society for "outstanding service to the cause of cancer control."[5]
