Today We Honor Julian Bond

Julian Bond was an activist in the civil rights, economic justice, and peace movements since his college years.

In 1960, Bond helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and earlier that year, he helped create the Atlanta University student civil rights organization, which directed several years of nonviolent protests and won integration of Atlanta’s movie theaters, lunch counters, and parks.

Bond served 20 years in the Georgia House and Georgia Senate, drafting more than 60 bills that became law. He was president of the Atlanta branch of the NAACP for 11 years and in 1998, was elected chair of the NAACP national board and served for 11 terms until stepping down in 2010.

A comic written by Julian Bond and published in 1967, after he was expelled from the Georgia House of Representatives for opposing the war in Vietnam.

Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years/Bridge to Freedom 1965 (1987). A documentary about the American Civil Rights Movement from 1952 to 1965.

The amount of footage and access this compelling, nuanced and informative documentary has on the Civil Rights Movement in America makes it feel like essential viewing. Really, really good, and not afraid to explore the challenges and conflicts that arise in a group with the same ultimate goal but different contexts and ideas on how to get there. 8/10.

Joyce Vance: Tennessee

I haven't been doing much here for a little while on account of some health stuff, but with respect to the Tennessee House expulsions, I think some history is in order, courtesy of Joyce Vance:

Several months after his election in June 1965, a civil rights organization that Mr. Bond belonged to issued an anti-war statement about Vietnam, which he subsequently endorsed in statements to the press. White members of the Georgia House challenged Bond’s right to be seated, charging that his statements aided our enemies, violated the Selective Service laws, discredited the House, and were inconsistent with the legislator’s mandatory oath to support the Constitution.

Bond filed a challenge in the House to the petitions against seating him, alleging they were violations of his First Amendment rights and they were racially motivated. The House committee hearing his challenge concluded that Bond should not be seated. He filed a lawsuit, and a three-judge panel in the federal district court in Georgia ruled against him 2-1. Bond filed an appeal under a provision that permitted him to go straight to the United States Supreme Court. While the appeal was pending, he was re-elected to the Georgia House in a special election, and, again, the House refused to seat him. He was elected again in the regular election in 1966, and the Supreme Court decided his case shortly afterwards.

The unanimous Supreme Court decision in Bond’s favor relied upon a famous First Amendment case, New York Times v. Sullivan, holding that although a state may impose a requirement that legislators take an oath of allegiance, it cannot limit their capacity to express views on local or national policy. “[D]ebate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open,” the Court wrote, citing the decision in Sullivan.

The Court’s opinion in Bond concluded with these words: “Legislators have an obligation to take positions on controversial political questions so that their constituents can be fully informed by them, and be better able to assess their qualifications for office; also so they may be represented in governmental debates by the person they have elected to represent them. We therefore hold that the disqualification of Bond from membership in the Georgia House because of his statements violated Bond’s right of free expression under the First Amendment.”

Julian Bond died in 2015, so his own personal experience isn't even long past, and that time is still very much in living memory. You would hope that we would have learned by now, but it seems as though the challenge of the 60s is still with us, and it's up to us to meet it again.

I think finding yourself getting life advice from quark in his PJs in the middle of the night (and desperately needing it) is how you officially know you've hit rock bottom

+ just us girls together at the sleepover right. anyway get your life together bitch you're scaring the profit margins

So - some OMB love. I wanted to copy the old Bond posters from the 60s (Thunderball, Goldfinger etc) als close as possible with all their roughness and hard contrasts and awesome colours. Also, we all know that Garak is cosplaying Pussy Galore but not 100%, so I adjusted his clothes a little bit. Now it's even more Pussy! Julian was already wearing Bonds light grey suit from that scene on Goldfinger's ranch, I just added the waistcoat. Thanks again for your comments and tags on my previous illustrations <3! My wedding was a really nice event :D

Is anyone else a little bit surprised that Charles actually is blonde ? Or was it just me 💀 I was bracing myself for him to have green hair or smth

Regardless, he looks adorable

Thinking about how Miles called Julian Jules in “Extreme Measures” and Julian didn’t even give it a second thought. A name he wouldn’t let his parents use, something we never hear Jadzia or Ezri say.

That privilege is reserved for Miles and Miles alone.

Ok don’t get me wrong, I love domestic, post-TDA Blackstairs (I adore them all in all) but you have to admit their angst in TDA is absolutely unmatched

I would have been soo invested in Ezri and Julian's relationship if Ezri just liked him and they didn't try to convince us it was Jadzia all along. Dax joins Ezri and is so excited to see their good friend Julian again and Oh God No he's Hot
