Future generations will know Julian Bond as a warrior for good who helped conquer hate in the name of love. More importantly, they will live in a world that is far more just and far more equal because of him.\"\u003cstrong\u003e—Chad Griffin, former President of the Human Rights Campaign \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Bond was well aware of the Second Reconstruction being recreated in America, and the legal push to undo all of Johnson's civil rights legislation. He would have despaired at Trump's election and the way the courts are being packed with fellow travelers, chipping away at civil rights protections. Handing victory after victory to people on the side of the powerful and greedy. He also would have found ways to organize. This enormous-hearted, unflinching book gives readers a vision of how that can be done.\"—John Freeman, \u003cem\u003eLit Hub\u003c\/em\u003e Executive Editor, \u003cem\u003eLitHub’s\u003c\/em\u003e \"Most Anticipated Books of 2020\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"As the nation confronts another period of ethnic and racial backlash and upheaval, Michael G.

Bond’s life of activism and service, including his work with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), his time in the Georgia legislature, and his long involvement with the Southern Poverty Law Center and the NAACP, offers a powerful example of servant leadership that could serve as a roadmap for Americans today. . . . Long has carefully arranged and compiled writings which demonstrate how Bond evolved on critical social issues. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in Bond's support of equal rights for members of the LGBTQ community.\"—Daryl Carter, \u003cem\u003eChapter 16\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The San Francisco publishing house that produced books by Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn and Jack Kerouac gives us this complete collection of writings by the late Julian Bond.
