"Who can forget all, that Roy Wilkins did for i this country through NAACP?

The LDF now headed by Jack Grcenberg, was jcrcalcd by the NAACP in 1939. In 1957, the Inc. Fund was separated from the NAACP. Subsequently it has, opcrqtcd outside the NAACP structure,. Yet, the organization insists on using the NAACP in itials but docs not allow Ihc Association any voice in its affairs, Hooks said.

Then:, according to the; ; witnesses, the carswung ?. and the charges against t;.

Grimes, says she knew ithe driver! (Grimes) because he r and her ; brother, Allen Reid,; jwere "involved r; with ' drugs together", i .. ; Was the fatality an, accident?

Ironically, Reams had : also . been convicted on two occasions of driving ' 'under the influence and 'three times for hit and i run. There is no indica- : tion of fatalities in either case. All toll, police ; records show Reams ! having been arrested 35 I times, and having been -convicted on 23 of those cases.- Penalties ranged from a $500 fine for a . DUI hit and run case in 1978, to a couple of twd-. year suspended sentences' in 1968 and 1974, respec-V tively. ; V ' This contrasts sharply with Grimes' record of about 14 dismissals in 1 some 17 cases. ; . .
