Julian Bond Chairman Emeritus of the NAACP.org spent most of his life, and particularly the last years of his life with a spotlight on the importance of the Voting Rights Act in his tweets, and interviews since the Supreme Court decision to weaken it. Julian Bond sent strong letters from the www.splc.org (Morris Dees Champion for rights) in addition.
Julian Bond had a zest for life that I witnessed at Representative John Conyer's NAACP Spingarn award in Detroit, Michigan several years ago. Mr. Bond took time out to talk to an amateur writer even though I didn't represent CNN. Later the group of civil rights legends moved their chairs in a semi-circle around the stage with their rainbow families to enjoy Patti Labelle sing her heart out to the men that made all the difference in the freedom of black people, and other ethnicities, while freeing the majority of whites souls from the burdensome emotion of hatred initially though laws.
Student of Dr. MLK. SNCC. Georgia House of Representatives 1967 - 1975. Georgia Senator 1975 - 1986. Nominated for Vice President of the United States. NAACP Spingarn award, and many others. Co-founder of SPLC.org. Professor at American University.
Our American hero left us all work to do to protect the civil rights symphony's achievements that represent the arc of our progress as humans. Our students need serious help in STEM education...

August 22, 2015 - Per the NAACP The family of Julian Bond will scatter his ashes in the gulf of Mexico tomorrow at 2pm Central Time with flower petals. They are asking all that admired him to sprinkle flower petals on the water to remember him. 3pm Eastern 2pm Central, 1pm Mountain time, noon Pacific time or google your area time zone clock with times. He cleared the path so all of us could be who we are.
