As a reporter for the Washington and Baltimore Afro-American, Yette covered the major events of the civil rights movement, including the Montgomery bus boycott, the organizational meetings of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and the 1957 march on Washington.
He was fired as Newsweek magazine's Washington correspondent after the publication of his 1971 book, The Choice, in which he claimed that there were "genocidal schemes" high up in the U.S. government to commit "guerilla warfare" against black Americans.
As a freelance journalist and columnist Yette continued to spark dialogue and incite controversy with his outspoken and sometimes radical analyses.
