Speaking to ACS members in Washington, D.C. in 2006, ACS Board of Directors Member & former Assistant Attorney General Roger Wilkins and Pulitzer Prize winning historian Taylor Branch recalled their personal memories of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Wilkins spoke about Dr. King's efforts to convert Chicago gang members to non-violence, while Branch spoke of King's dedication to causes far broader than desegregation--his passion for ending the "triple associated scourges of poverty, racism and war."
