LeRoy T. Walker (June 14, 1918 – April 23, 2012) was an American track and field coach and the first black president of the United States Olympic Committee. In the 1996 Olympics, Walker was delegated to lead a 10,000 member group of the most talented athletes in the world. His goal was to make sure that American citizens have a feeling of ownership in the program, saying, We ought to keep them informed. We ought to let them know what the Olympic movement is all about and what’s happening to the dollars that they give.
