Walter R. Somerville, Jr., was born in an impoverished community but worked his way up the ladder to becoming assistant commandant for civil rights in the United States Coast Guard. In his 54 years of public service to the people of the United States, he was a relentless advocate for creating a Coast Guard culture that values diversity, for increasing representation of minorities and women in the military service, for developing the Coast Guard's recruiting initiative for the 21st century, and much, much more. He is a graduate of the 1992 program for senior managers in government, the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.
