| Summary: | Professor and nonprofit executive Conrad Walter Worrill was born on August 15, 1941, in Pasadena, California, moving to Chicago on his ninth birthday. After graduating from George Williams College in 1968, a West Side YMCA hired him as the program director. He began teaching at Northeastern Illinois University in 1976, where he was the coordinator and professor of inner-city studies education. As the national chairman of the National Black United Front, Worrill was committed to social change for black people. He worked tirelessly to include the contributions of Africans and African Americans in the American public school curriculum. Worrill became the economic development commissioner of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N'COBRA) and in 1997 traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, with a delegation to formally charge the U.S. government with genocide and human right violations before the Commission on Human Rights. He wrote the syndicated weekly column Worrill's World.
