Wilkins, 75, has even accused some members of the N.A.A.C.P.'s governing board of conducting a "campaign of vilification" to get rid of him. For the sake of appearances, the board allowed him to stay-along with Hooks as director-designate-until after the national convention next summer in St. Louis, the city in which Wilkins was born...
