Saluting Julian Bond, Civil Rights Icon
If ever there was a man for all seasons, Julian Bond certainly fits the bill — a man whose college-student activism challenged the lie of “separate but equal” all over the South and particularly in his home state of Georgia. He went on to serve four terms in the Georgia House of Representatives and six in the Georgia Senate. Among other things, Julian also served four terms on the national board of the NAACP and was its chairman from 1998 to 2010.
