Julian Bond, 1940-2015. Fifty years ago, Bond was elected to...
...the Georgia State House of Representatives. He was barred from serving ostensibly because he was a member of SNCC and opposed the Vietnam War. Of course, the fact that he was an "uppity" black man had nothing to do with it. It took the Supreme Court (by a 9-0 vote) to overrule the redneck Georgia District Court that decided Bond's constitutional rights had not been violated.
In 2008, Republicans wanted to bar Obama from serving as President ostensibly because he wasn't born in America. Of course, the fact that he was an "uppity" black had nothing to do with it. Yes, we've come a long way, baby.of class, and dignity and much more.
The world is a better place because of him.
May he rest in peace.
Thank you Mr. Julian Bond
