Roger Wilkins

So very sorry to just be learning this sad news. His Politics and Mass Media class was amazing and his influence has stayed with me these many years later. I was fortunate enough to be in his first class at George Mason. He was such a wonderful person and professor, had an amazing mind and used it to impact America and accomplish so much good. He was a warm and supportive mentor. My heart goes out to his wonderful wife and family. I hope that your wonderful memories will help to keep...

Roger and I met at Creston High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We reconnected 60 years later via email and he was the most amazing person I have ever known. His humor, his caring for all - endless love - understanding - what a wonderful person - my love to his family who were so important to him. Margaret Walsh in Arizona

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Roger's family on his death. Roger was an exceptional person who had tremendous impact on those lucky enough to know him. When I was a freshman at the University of Michigan in 1953, Roger was my Residence Advisor in my Dorm. He was a Michigan Law student at the time, and his warmth, judgment, values, and humor, made him a special friend. My heart goes out to his family, some of whom I had the privledge of knowing when he was living and working...

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Roger Wilkins. I saw him often around the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC, and also worked with him during his service on the DC Board of Education. He had a unique place in modern American history, with his contributions to the LBJ Admin, journalism and other service. Blessings to your family, may you find comfort in his memory.

You were the best boss, the best friend. You were like a dad to me. I will miss you my dear Roger Wilkins. The Crisis and NAACP were fortunate to have you as one of their sons. Carry on in heaven! ...India

Your life's work contributed to the betterment of mankind, for that, we are eternally greatful.

Thank you for all that you have done for Civil Rights. May you rest in eternal peace.

Sincerely,

A very grateful American
