NAACP Leader Chavis Sued Over Settlement Use
The NAACP face an internal probe after reports that Executive Director Benjamin Chavis privately steered up to 332400 in funds to settle a sexual harassment claim by a former aide. The Times and The Baltimore Sun note a $8000 annual job target was promised, with 250000 more if no job materialized, while Mary E Stansel received 77000. The group disputes the allegations and says the settlement lacked proper justification. A separate Washington report highlights a 365 million year old amphibian fossil in Clinton County, suggesting early land animal evolution.
