Trial continues for local civil rights leader

Staff Report

DAYTON, Ohio —

Trial continues Tuesday for Raleigh Trammell. He is the former board chairman of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. 

Trammell is accused of taking over $50,000 from a program which was supposed to take meals to the elderly. 

Defense attorneys said the charges are unfounded.

Trammell was removed from his posts in the local and national SCLC two years ago. At that time, he was accused of misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars.
