Robert Dean Perkins Sr. (August 11, 1922 – April 19, 1994) was an American educator, businessman and civil rights activist based in Tallahassee, Florida. Perkins and his wife, Trudie, are credited with being the catalysts for bringing about equitable changes in employment practices in municipal government at a time when no African-Americans held high-ranking positions in city administration. The result of their efforts was a consent decree, entered and ordered against the city of Tallahassee in 1975 mandating the hiring of African-Americans at a ratio equal to their population in the city at that time.
