George Henry White (December 18 1852 – December 28 1918) was an attorney Republican U.S. Congressman from North Carolina between 1897 and 1901 and a banker. He is considered the last African-American Congressman of the Jim Crow era one of twenty to be elected in the late nineteenth century from the South. The Democrats had regained power in the state legislature in the 1870s but black candidates continued to be elected from some districts.
