Julian Bond, Civil Rights Activist and Chairman of the Naacp: Civil Rights Activist and Chairman of the Naacp (African-American Biographies) (Library Binding)

~ Denise M. Jordan (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grades 6-8--Coming of age during the Vietnam era, Bond made his mark as an early organizer for SNCC in Atlanta. He became nationally known when he was elected to the Georgia State House of Representatives but was refused a seat because of his outspoken antiwar views. When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned his expulsion and he was seated in the Georgia Legislature, his prominence was ensured and he was catapulted onto the national stage. In a variety of capacities since that time, he has actively sought to end racism and discrimination. Captioned, black-and-white photos show Bond at different stages of his life. A well-put-together, straightforward introduction to a respected activist.

I purchased this book to use as a reference in my African American Studies paper. This book contained little known facts about Mr. Bond that assisted me in obtaining an A+ on my final paper.
