Equality remains a vision for black Americans says Bond
Georgia state senator Julian Bond told a Cedar Rapids audience that equality is still only a vision 25 years after the Brown v. Board ruling and amid Andrew Young’s resignation from the UN. He spoke at the Human Diversity in Education conference with 1,500 educators registered. Bond contrasted Carter’s background with a fictionalized Black man, warned of delayed school integration, and urged persistence in the civil rights struggle.
