FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

NEW YORK, N.Y., March 18 -- The Herman Goldman Foundation has 

awarded $30,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund to support 

a litigation program in juvenile justice, it was announced today by 

Jack Greenberg, the fund's director-counsel. 

The grant will be used to help correct conditions of incarceration 

in children's institutions and protect the legal rights of children who are 

caught up in juvenile courts, often without legal aid. The program, in 

addition, will attempt to limit and define categories of punishable 

offenses for which children can be jailed. 

In accepting the grant on behalf of the Legal Defense Fund, 

Mr. Greenberg noted that juvenile offenders are generally deprived of rights 

guaranteed to adults. "The Herman Goldman Foundation's generous gift," 

he said, "will enable us to take on a larger number of cases, deal with a 

larger number of important legal issues, and help us build a substantive 

body of law. 

"Once we have accomplished this objective, individuals and 

organizations throughout the country will be able to protect helpless 

(more) 



children caught up in the toils of the juvenile courts -- as well as 

about 100,000 children now detained in jails or jail-like places." 

The Herman Goldman Foundation, founded in 1943, provides 

support for programs in the New York City area concerned with health, 

social development and justice, education and the arts. It also assists 

organizations seeking to overcome problems of the economically and 

socially deprived on a national basis.

organization even though we were established by 

the NAACP and those initials are retained in our 

name. Our correct designation is NAACP Legal 

Defense and Educational Fund, frequently shortened 

to LDF.
