Wilson Chapter NAACP Meeting Tonight

For Those Interested: It's the 1st Thursday of the month and the NAACP is scheduled to hold it's monthly meeting tonight. It's usually held at the Bradford Resource Center in the Adventura East subdivision at 7pm if you're interested in attending.

In their last meeting, concerned NAACP members made a motion and it was carried that the NAACP would attend the January city council meeting to ask the city to regulate the ordinances concerning the towing issue. With a consenus of votes in favor, it was agreed the newly-elected President, George Leach, who serves as the spokesperson for the local branch would appear before council to address the matter.


Initially, there were no ordinances to regulate as there were none on the books that covered regulated towing or predatory towing. However, city council members prior to the council meeting came up with a list of items they deemed ?(considerable enough)? to enact regarding the local towing issue.

Several NAACP members were present at the meeting that evening, minus the president. Clarence Albert, speaking for himself as a concerned citizen and not representing the NAACP addressed the council.
