Albert "Chalky" White is a racketeer and the unofficial leader of the African-American community in Atlantic City. Chalky White is shown to be fiercely loyal to Nucky Thompson, despite their occasional differences. He is a 5'10 black man with dark skin and eyes. Chalky knows how the world works, and he wants to do anything he can to stay ahead of the curve. Atlantic City during Prohibition is a bit like the Wild West, and Chalky is interested in getting a major piece of the action.
