When everybody else was getting worked up, I could find in Julian a cool serious analysis of what was going on.
Founds SPLC
Bond helps found the Southern Poverty Law Center, a public-interest law firm based in Montgomery, Alabama, and serves as its president for eight years and as an emeritus board member until his death.
Becomes SNCC communications director
Bond becomes communications director of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a position he holds for five years. Its mission is to unite students in non-violent protest against segregation and other racist occurrences. He skillfully guides the national news media toward stories of violence and discrimination as the committee challenges legal segregation in the South’s public facilities during a time when mainstream media ignores what is happening to Blacks. He travels around Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas to help organize civil rights and voter registration drives.
