Nancy White

White worked most of his life as a caretaker on a plantation and had no involvement in the civil rights movement. Klansmen told White that they needed help finding a lost dog. They lied to him, part of their plot to kill White so that they could lure Martin Luther King Jr. to the area and assassinate him.
