JULIAN BOND
The American social activist and leader in the Civil Rights Movement pens his autograph
on this 5x3½ card with printed patriotic symbols, in blue ink
Signature: "Julian/Bond". 5x3½ card printed with patriotic symbols. In February 1998, Julian
Bond (1940-2015) was elected Chairman of the NAACP, a 500,000-member group that
was founded in 1909. Prominent in Civil Rights protests in the 1960s, Bond led a sit-in
movement to desegregate Atlanta's lunch counters before turning to a career in politics. In
1965, he won a seat in Georgia's state legislature, but the body refused to seat him, citing
his statement accusing the U.S. of violating international law in Vietnam. In December
1966, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the exclusion unconstitutional, and Bond was sworn
in on January 9, 1997. Bond, who served in the Georgia House of Representatives
(1967-1975) and Georgia Senate (1975-1987), became the first Black man to have his name
placed in nomination for the vice presidency of a major political party in 1968; he
withdrew his name as he was under the Constitutional minimum age. Rippled, not at
signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
