Scholar and Civil Rights leader Roger Wilkins visited to UDC-DCSL on February 12, 2002 to talk about the subject matter of his recent book, Jefferson's Pillow: The Founding Fathers and the Dilemma of Black Patriotism. Wilkins spoke before a large group of students, alumni and other members of the University and D.C. community who paid the author-speaker their highest honor - by buying out all available copies of his book! After an extended question and answer period, Professor Wilkins graciously posed for photos and autographed copies of his book for the long line.
