Campaign for America's Future: Remembering Julian Bond







MORNING MESSAGE

Robert Borosage & Roger Hickey
Remembering Julian Bond
Robert Borosage: America lost a giant this weekend when Julian Bond left us at 75. And CAF lost a friend, a founder, a mentor and a guide. Julian lived a large life, devoted to making America better. And we all are beneficiaries of his work and his wisdom.
Roger Hickey: For those of us becoming active in the movement — especially those of us in the South — Julian Bond was an absolute hero. He had the courage under fire of the SNCC organizers. And he stood up to the whole Georgia power structure not only against racism but also against the war in Vietnam. He was cool.
