Pinkie C. Wilkerson (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Pinkie Carolyn Wilkerson (1948-August 1, 2000) was an African American member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from her native Grambling, west of Ruston, Louisiana, who served from 1992 until her death in a six-vehicle traffic accident on Interstate 20 in Bossier City, Louisiana. Wilkerson was particularly involved in the areas of health care and rural development. Her District 11 included Claiborne Parish and portions of Bienville, Lincoln, and Union parishes in North Louisiana. The district was especially created after the 1990 census to guarantee an African American voter majority.
