The Los Angeles Daily News, September 20, 1992:

Genethia Hayes says she recently learned firsthand the importance of getting a good education—when her car was stolen.

Hayes, assistant executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, found her car gone as she left her South-Central Los Angeles office to attend a special Los Angeles Board of Education meeting.

Other car theft victims might be understandably angry at the thieves, but Hayes said that whoever took her car was also a victim.

"On a personal level, I know that person now driving my car on a road to crime had an inadequate educational background," Hayes said, after getting a ride to school district headquarters.
