Wilson was born in Enfield, London where he fished on the River Lea.
In the 1960s, Wilson was active in the civil rights movement, first with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and then with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). He moved to Washington, District of Columbia, as associate director of the National Sharecroppers Fund. He was also co-chaired the District of Columbia Democratic State Committee and was elected to represent District of Columbia on the Democratic National Committee in 1992.
Wilson served in 1974 as the chairman of the drive to approve the referendum to adopt the Home Rule Charter for the District of Columbia.
The charter allowed residents for the first time to elect both a mayor and a 13-member city council called the Council of the District of Columbia. After approval of the charter in 1974, Wilson successfully ran for election to the council, representing Ward 2, which at that time was the most diverse ward in the city.
He represented Ward 2 until he was sworn in as chairman of the council on January 2, 1991. He served as chairman until his death by suicide in 1993.
During Wilson"s tenure as the Ward 2 council member, he chaired the Committee on Finance and Revenue and was widely acknowledged as an expert in municipal finances.
His early warnings about government overspending proved prophetic, eventually leading the United States. Congress to establish a financial control board to oversee the city"s finances for a number of years. He wrote the District"s tough anti-hate crimes laws as well as its human rights law, which is one of the most comprehensive in the country. During his council years, Wilson was a Harvard Fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government.
He also attended the Senior Executive Program for State and Local Government at Harvard University.
The Wilson Building was then named after him.
