About author(s): Horace Julian Bond (1940-2015) was a leader in the Civil Rights movement, a politician, professor, writer, and activist.
With these firsthand accounts of the Civil Rights Movement and original photos from Danny Lyon, Julian Bond \'s Time to Teach makes History come alive.
He explains the youth activism, community ties, and strategizing required to build strenuous and successful movements.
Beginning with the movement\'s origins in the early twentieth century, Bond tackles key events such as the Montgomery bus boycott, the Little Rock Nine, Freedom Rides, sit-ins, Mississippi voter registration, the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Bombing, the March on Washington, the Civil Rights Act, Freedom Summer, and Selma.
Through his lectures, Bond detailed the ground-shaking disruption the Movement caused, its immense unpopularity at the time, and the bravery of activists (some very young) who chose to disturb order to pursue justice.
Julian Bond sought to dismantle the perception of the Civil Rights Movement as a peaceful and respectable protest that quickly garnered widespread support.
Compiled from his original lecture notes, Julian Bond \'s Time to Teach brings his invaluable teachings to a new generation of readers and provides a necessary toolkit for today\'s activists in the era of Black Lives Matter and #MeToo.
