Roy Wilkins a life devoted to civil rights amid critics
Roy Wilkins now 73 or 74 by August 30 remains active as NAACP executive secretary after 24 years at the post. He denounces violence and links civil rights to legal action while opposing militant tactics and early retirement. He cites a lifelong record from Minnesota days to NAACP leadership and warns against tying civil rights to Vietnam. Tulsa during World War II is noted as a dry state becoming very wet with bootleggers distributing around the city.
