Justice questioned in local court by Blacks
In Hope Arkansas in 1975 a Black 17 year old charged with assault on a minor faced a delayed municipal court case. The white plaintiff withdrew an obscene phone call charge, while the Black boy refused to drop his assault charge. A judge warned the boy to appear April 29 for a full trial. On April 29 the white man forfeited bond, but confusion arose over which case it referred to. The judge then stated the defendant would not be brought to court. The letter questions whether justice can be expected in Municipal Court and hints at racial inequity. Rev L B Beard Jr and Dr W C Gant sign.
