The bulk of the interview focuses on Black Student Unions on high school campuses, including the formation of the BSU at Poly High, and its expansion to other Riverside schools. Roberts continues with a discussion about segregated schools, "cross busing," race relations, and law enforcement among many topics. Dell Roberts was a football coach and Poly High campus supervisor from 1968-1989. He has advised the United Black Students of California, and is on the board of the Mission Inn Foundation.
