The case of Malry Tardd who accuses Brookhaven National Laboratory

Lucius Ware of the Eastern Long Island Branch of N A A C P writes:

The long history of complaints of racial taunting, discrimination, and hate crimes at BNL has finally reached the trial level in the federal court system.

Attorney Frederick Brewington is conducting the case for our member Malry Tardd. Malry Tardd is suing the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Mr. Brewington is showing the judge and jury some of the outrageous acts of attempted intimidation and discrimination as well as acts of hatred at BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY in violation of Mr. Tardd's CIVIL RIGHTS.

A number of us plan to attend the trial on Tuesday as court observers. Please join us for at least an hour or two in the morning or in the afternoon. Let us know (yes or no) if you will/will not attend by e-mail (elibnaacp@aol.com) or telephone the office at (631) 287-7346.

I believe that Martin would say, "If you can't go, send somebody!"
