Roger Wilkins

In 1968, Roger Wilkins was director of Community Relations Service (CRS) of the Department of Justice.  A department that was started under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  I hope to research CRS for this project.

I found a great clip of a 2007 interview of Roger Wilkins by Renee Poussaint for the National Visionary Leadership Project.  Wilkins shares the foundational impact that Jackie Robinson had on his life.
