Roger Wilkins has left us, just after his 85th birthday. A great champion of social justice, proud father and good friend, he will be missed ... As the civil rights movement drove change from the streets, Roger became its advocate and translator on the inside. There he pushed against the arrogance, ignorance and complacency of the powerful ... Few have provided greater insight into how racism has scarred this nation. Few wrestled so fiercely with the contradiction between the nation’s ideals and its flawed reality.
