Roy Wilkins died today – 26 years ago

U.S. civil rights activist Roy Wilkins was born on August 30, 1901 in St. Louis, Missouri. He said, “The players in this drama of frustration and indignity are not commas or semicolons in a legislative thesis; they are people, human beings, citizens of the United States of America." [Where have we heard that “comma” reference lately?]... Mr. Wilkins died in 1981 in New York City, New York.
