I'm so glad Julian Bond had the opportunity to live to see the nation's first Black President and to see marriage equality become reality in all 50 states. I'm so saddened and heartbroken by news of his passing. R.I.P. Mr Bond and thank you.
The media do not get it about black America. It's true that Mr. Bond associated his name and dynamic presence to the human rights campaign of the 20th, 21st centuries. But let's set the record straight. He was from the top social/educational level of black American, which is enormously impressive, I might add (yes, Ralph Ellison, they are STILL invisible, especially to a myopic media). But with a resume such as his, education, and first class upbringing, Mr. Bond could easily have been seen gracing the floors with complete confidence, mind you, of Franklin Templeton, J. Walter Thompson, Goldman Sachs, IMF, World Bank — and many others to numerous to mention here. So let's not limit Mr. Bond's legacy exclusively to human rights. The man was carrying around an enormously impressive resume!
Inspirational.
R.I.P Julian, he was a great man
At least we had him for 75 yrs
