About five o'clock, when Andrew Young returned from his courtroom testimony to find a general bull session in visiting Kentucky state senator Georgia Davis Powers' Room 201, King greeted him with playful fury by wrestling him to the floor between the two beds. Abernathy, SCLC member Hosea Williams, Bernard Lee and King's brother A.D. King joined in a wild tickling punishment of Young for failure to keep "our Leader" informed all day, which turned into a free-for-all pillow fight, with King sometimes squaring off against A.D. as in childhood. Once the hysteria subsided, Young said...
...there himself if Daddy King had not invited him to Ebenezer, and surely the deacons would understand that Abernathy had to revive the soul of a whole nation instead. Abernathy weakened, but did not give in until King promised to help secure a substitute revival leader of stature. Upstairs, Hosea Williams loudly evicted the last of the Invaders (a gang accused of being agent provocateurs in the riot) from two rooms provided during negotiations, after discovering to his outrage that 15 of them had crammed inside to live on meals charged to the SCLC account.

Hosea's lawyer, Randy McClanahan, confirms what Hosea first told CBS News: in early 2001 Hosea noticed suspicious payments made from the fund in 2000 that hadn't been approved by anyone in her department.

In addition, Hosea found evidence...

Investigators are also looking for possible wrongdoing at three of the bonding companies, including one formerly owned by civil rights pioneer Hosea Williams. Apart from not paying rent, the companies may have been allowed by former sheriffs to operate without posting $150,000 cash or property bonds, contrary to jail policy. After being sworn in, Derwin planned to evict the bail bondsmen, which would have had deep financial consequences. A legit bonding...
...DIED. HOSEA WILLIAMS, 74, fiery, foghorn-voiced civil rights leader and deputy to Martin Luther King Jr.; of cancer; in Atlanta. Williams joined the civil rights struggle after taking his sons to a drugstore in 1950s Savannah, Ga., and seeing them cry when he told them they couldn't spin on the soda-fountain stools with the white children. He led the 1965 "Bloody Sunday" march in Selma, Ala., and later turned his efforts to the poor and homeless. Though he won election to local and state offices, he said one of his happiest days was in '63--when...
