Civil rights leader and former congressional delegate Walter Fauntroy says he plans to resume his global travels after a return to Washington following several years abroad.
Fauntroy spoke to The Washington Post in his first interview since his return home in late June. When he arrived at Dulles International Airport he was arrested on a 5-year-old charge of writing a bad check in Maryland.
The 83-year-old had been living abroad for the past four years. His wife says she's not letting him go anywhere.
Fauntroy told The Washington Post before coming home that he believed the bad-check issue was resolved.
Fauntroy helped plan the 1963 March on Washington with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. He served for 20 years as Washington's first elected delegate to Congress.
