Brave & brilliant guy! And one of the most articulate of the activists, which most folks don't appreciate.
However, he entered politics and kinda lost his way - kinda sold his soul!
Strangely enough, it was his fellow Civil Rights struggler who helped diminish Bond's reputation when they ran for Congress against each other!
John Lewis called Julian Bond a drug head. Ouch!
Lewis did to Bond what he did to Bernie Sanders, diminishing Sander's activism during the Civil Rights struggle. That was terrible!
But my main issue with Julian Bond is how he made the NAACP an extension of the Democratic Party. He started that nonsense when he used the NAACP to attack George Bush in an explicit demogoguery way. In fact, Bond & the NAACP attacked George Bush the way the Democratic party attacked & demonized Donald Trump during our last election. The scaremongering was exactly the same.
MAY JULIAN BOND CONTINUE TO REST IN PEACE. AMEN
