We were saddened by the death last month of Samuel F. Yette, a man whose influence still will be felt decades from now.
Yette, a Harriman man who was schooled at Rockwood’s famed Campbell High School for black children, left his mark as a journalist.
He covered many significant Civil Rights Era events for Newsweek magazine and also for LIFE magazine.
He lost his job at Newsweek after he wrote his plain-spoken, then-controversial book, “The Choice: Black Survival in the United States.”
