Teaching was a lifelong passion for Wilson. It was more than just a vocation; it was an act of hope. He instilled the importance of learning in his children. His cover for the March 23, 1967 issue of The Reporter, entitled "What is Racial Balance in the Schools?" speaks to the issues of access and equity that were so important to him.
