I had to do a project on Roy Wilkins, and I needed to get some information on him. I borrowed this book from the library for a few days. I didn't read the whole entire book, just some of it. But still, it gave me enough information to do my project and get a good grade on it! It tells about his whole life in great detail. If you need some information on Roy Wilkins, I would recommend this book for you.
