Julian Bond to s
Georgia Senator is civil rights lea^m
Georgia State Senator Julian
Bond will be guest speaker on
campus April 10. The program
will be sponsored by the TSU
Civic Series Committee and will
be held in the main auditorium
starting at 7:30 p.m.
Bond, 38, is a native of
Nashville, Tenn., and became
active in the civil rights movement
while attending Morehouse
College in Atlanta. He helped
found the Committee on Appeal
for Human Rights (COAHR) and
the Student Non-Violent
Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
Bond was elected to the
Georgia House of Representatives
in 1965, but was barred from
taking his seat by legislators who
objected to his statements on the
Vietnam war. Despite winning
I
jv'V
#
two special elections in 1S}66, he
still did not take his seat until
1967 following a U.S. Supreme
Court decision >that the Georgia
legislature had erred in refusing
him his place,. He eventually
served four terms in" the House,
and in November, 1974 Was
elected to the State Senate where
he now serves.
Bond has been the
embodiment of the New Politics
since 1968 when his appearance at
the Democratic National
Convention in Chicago
symbolized the changes taking
place in the party. The young
delegate co-chaired the challenge
delegation from Georgia at the
convention, and his fight there
against the hand-picked delegation
by. then-Governor Lester Maddox
made his name familiar to
Americans of all political beliefs.
He seconded the nomination of
Senator Eugene McCarthy, and
was himself nominated for vice
president - the first black in
history to be .so honored. Bond's
age, 28,' disqualified him for the
nomination.
Bond now iserves oh the board
of directors for several
organizations including the Delta'
Ministry Project of 'the National
Council of Churches, Robert F.
Kennedy Memorial Fund, Martin
' * W"?,v
Luther King. Jr. Centpr For Social
Change, Democratic
Coalition. He is board chairman of
the Southern Elections Fund, and
president of the Southern Poverty
Law Center.
In announcing the appearance
of Senator Bond/ J. Louis Evans,
Civic Series Co remittee chairman,
said, "the members of the
committee . are pleased to have
Senator- Bond on' the TSU
.campus/ particularly- at a time
. when his appearance will coincide
"with 'Black History' activities."

be $3 for adults and $2 for
students*. Tarleton students will be
