William Rodolphus Christopher (March 4, 1924 – December 5, 1973) was an American artist and civil rights activist known for his abstract imagery and collage. Christopher taught at Dartmouth College and served as a representative of the Dartmouth chapter of the NAACP. He participated in the March 13-15, 1965 civil rights demonstrations marching from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. His longtime partner was the artist George Tooker; the pair lived in New York City until 1960, when they moved to Hartland, Vermont; the couple spent winters in Spain, where Christopher died in December 1973. His papers are held at the Archives of American Art.
