More quotes by Julian Bond
It takes people who have a widespread series of experiences to develop future leaders. It takes people who aren't afraid to challenge and move forward.
Julian Bond
The president of the branch in Atlanta was a pastor of a church, the Reverend Sam Williams, a wonderful guy. He was middle-class and fairly militant for the time and place.
Julian Bond
Unlike mainstream civil rights groups, which merely sought integration of blacks into the existing order, SNCC sought structural changes in American society itself.
Julian Bond
I now teach at American University and the University of Virginia
Julian Bond
Marriage is a civil right. If you don't want gay people to marry in your church, good for you. But you can't say they can't marry in your city.
Julian Bond
The war in Iraq has as much to do with terrorism as the administration has to do with compassion.
Julian Bond

Julian Bond
There's this big debate that goes on in America about what rights are: Civil rights, human rights, what they are? it's an artificial debate. Because everybody has rights. Everybody has rights - I don't care who you are, what you do, where you come from, how you were born, what your race or creed or color is. You have rights. Everybody's got rights.
Julian Bond
Black reporters are as capable of racism as anyone else.
Julian Bond
People see America through particular lenses, either their profession, their race or their gender. So the party that speaks to our racial perceptions and offers solutions to the racial difficulties which we face is the party that's going to be rewarded with our votes.
Julian Bond
As skills and energy became more of a demand, people who didn't have skills just got left behind, got shuttled to the side. Education didn't keep up with their promise. Education didn't prepare them for this new world. Jobs went overseas.
Julian Bond
You must place interest in principle above interest on principal.
Julian Bond
There is no coloration to rights. Everybody has rights. I don't care who you are, where you come from. You got rights. I got rights. All God's children got rights.
Julian Bond
You could not be in the civil rights movement without having an appreciation for everybody's rights. That these rights are not divisible - not something men have and women don't and so on.
Julian Bond
Good things don't come to those who wait. They come to those who agitate!
Julian Bond
Any time someone carries a picket sign in front of the White House, that is the First Amendment in action
Julian Bond
We know that if whites and nonwhites vote in the same percentages as they did in 2000, Bush will be re-defeated by 3 million votes.
Julian Bond
I was a Georgia state legislator for a great many years
Julian Bond
What we mean by integration is not to be with them (whites) but to have what they have.
Julian Bond
Many are attracted to social service - the rewards are immediate, the gratification quick. But if we have social justice, we won't need social service.
