"The affiliate is to immediately cease all use of the Urban League brand name and logo and materials and shall terminate immediately all fund-raising events."
Lewis did not return a telephone call seeking comment Thursday, and league spokesman Ricky Clemons declined to comment.
The threat of disaffiliation has hovered like a dark cloud over the local branch’s rooftop since the national office placed the Madison County Urban League on "probation/suspension" Feb. 9.
Lewis wrote Thursday that the local league failed to satisfy the conditions set for lifting the sanction, which included reinstating Starsky Wilson, who was ousted as CEO and president."
