I have been scouring the biographies of Roy Wilkins with little luck.
Most of them don't even speak of his childhood, let alone the name of his father.
I'm sure that Mr. Wilkins doesn't want to give the history books his name. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was 5 years old and his father abandoned him. He was raised by his Aunt in St. Paul, Minnesota.
These were the only links I could find with any information prior to his schooling and adult life.
