Of the Cinema Novo directors, he would go on to produce films, plays, musicals and other forms of entertainment in Brazil.
Diegues' contributions to Brazilian cinema developed the film industry.
He would pioneer expensive film projects that domestic filmmakers had ever seen.

He is known for distinguished publications that uplift the Afro-Brazilian spirit and bodies.
In 2018, Diegues was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters.

He accepted a commission as lieutenant colonel.
White was removed from the Yank staff in 1942 by General Osborn and was ordered overseas to serve with the Stars and Stripes newspaper.
He was in charge of the North African/ Mediterranean edition of Stars and Stripes from its beginning in December 1942 to mid 1944.
He insisted that this newspaper too should be for the enlisted men not the high command.

White encouraged Mauldin to accept offers to syndicate his cartoons to US newspapers, and helped Mauldin find a literary agent.
In mid 1944, he was sent home because he wanted to run excerpts from US newspapers about the 1944 Presidential campaign in Stars and Stripes, and the army command forbade this.
