Introduction by Lawrence A. Robinson
Derrick Wallace called me late one evening about two years ago, introduced himself and then asked me if I knew who he was. At that point in time, he and I had never formally met. I knew of him and actually years earlier, I was part of the transition team moving into leadership of the Orange County NAACP as he was moving out of that president's position.
During that phone call, two years ago, he asked me if I would support him. Before I could answer he ask me if there was any reason why I wouldn't support him. I quizzed him on an issue that I knew he had been involved in and asked for clarification.
