And Bond reflected on Till quite a bit, and said at one point, if they did that to Emmett Till, what will they do to me? [32] As the district had a huge Democratic majority, the nomination delivered the seat to Lewis, who served in Congress for 30 years until his death on July 17, 2020. You know, he could move very easily in the streets, and he got elected; he got elected over and over again. So there’s no question of that.

But I’ve discovered, because I teach here at the University of Southern California where we are recording, and unfortunately there isn’t that much knowledge about, you know, the struggle for the Voting Rights Act, and the struggle to just be able to vote. And it was the organization that really gave a lot of emphasis and push and guts to what was a traditional civil rights movement. I got a soldier right outside, guarding my door. You know, Jimmy Carter nominated Griffin Bell as attorney general; Griffin Bell had voted to exclude Julian from the legislature. And one of the things that, again, I learned from your book is that Julian Bond was very early to the debate about the environment, and concern about the environment. PH: Well, it had happened [inaudible] so it was not theoretical. "Julian Bond: Reflections from the Frontlines of the Civil Rights Movement". RS: Let me just throw in another controversial concern he had, had to do with this ”population bomb” image of Ehrlich and so forth. That means he had to be real to the people in his community. Bond grew to become a a writer, poet, television commentator, lecturer and educator, thereafter. PH: No, the people — there’s no question that the people who were in the throes of the modern civil rights movement, say from 1960 to 1968, were incredibly courageous and confronted horrible racism, to say nothing of threats to their body and soul every day. RS: Oh, they tried to tear him apart. But I say in my foreword that he was a race man in the mold of Thurgood Marshall, and quote, that Marshall ”became what blacks of the 1930s admiringly called ‘a race man’: a black man whose major work was to advance the interests of his race.” And so, and the earlier incarnation of that, of course, would be W.E.B. So that really kicks off Bond’s civil rights career. And that is what Martin Luther King was saying at the end of his life, before he was assassinated. I don’t know whether others will follow. PH: And that’s how the NAACP came to endorse marriage equality. Du Bois, and Julian’s own father, Horace Mann Bond. You know, if we fail to do the economic justice component, the civil rights movement will have stalled and failed most of these people that we’re concerned about. RS: Pam, you’ve practiced before the Supreme Court, so you probably know this case better than anyone. Bond died from complications of vascular disease on August 15, 2015, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida , at the age of 75. It was charitable, it was open. But I will say that as the years went on, that Julian did have some respect for Jimmy Carter as an ex-president. RS: ”Here” — excuse me, ”here” being — tell people where Morehouse is? He was a great artist, a great athlete, a great opera singer, great football player, great, great, great. They knew that they were up against murders and mayhem of unspeakable horror. Callaway had led in the 1966 general election by some three thousand votes. What do I say to his widow? He was thinking to the end, he was provocative to the end, he was concerned about moral consistency to the end. And they didn’t seat him, obviously, because he supported SNCC’s statement against the war. I think it took a lot of courage to be working in Montgomery, and working on these issues that you worked on. Bond was an outspoken supporter of the rights of gays and lesbians. And there were, I think, 11 other blacks who had been elected in that particular year. Listen to the full discussion between Long, Horowitz and Scheer as they recall Bond through his vital work as well as through their own personal memories of the civil rights leader in the media player above. And peace and conflict studies. “[Bond, who was himself in politics, said politics is] ‘the art of seeing who gets how much of what from whom,’” Scheer notes.

And Johnson says to Russell, “Is there any reason how we can justify this war, sending young men to die there? So that’s another concern he has early on. And it is interesting because I found it one of the most fascinating, because I learned so much from it.
And that’s really what pushed the civil rights movement and pushed every single movement that has met it. But I just thought that that was interesting, that Julian — and I think this can be said of that whole generation of civil rights heroes, really —they were willing to tackle controversial questions. But let me just move a little faster here. Bond also moved on to teach at Harvard, Drexel, Williams, and the University of Pennsylvania.
