Innis, (Emile Alfredo) Roy

(1934– ) civil rights activist; born in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Emigrating to Harlem, New York City (1946), he dropped out of high school to join the army, then worked for a New York City research laboratory (1963–67). He joined the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in 1963 and advocated black separatism and community school boards; in 1968 he became CORE's national president. Promoting community development corporations, he founded several black business groups and was coeditor of the Manhattan Tribune. Never fully accepted by established African-American civil rights leaders because of his unpredictable positions and personality, he was dogged by charges from associates of being too dictatorial; the New York attorney general's office investigated him for alleged misuse of contributions and he was forced to pay back $35,000 to CORE (1981). In the 1980s he twice ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1988 he made controversial appearances on the Geraldo Rivera and Morton Downey Jr. television shows that led to scuffles on camera.
