    Title
    16mm motion picture film of Julian Bond
    Caption
    This 16mm film is a short documentary produced for the National Educational Television program Black Journal. It examines the promising political career of civil rights activist and then member of the Georgia State Legislature, Julian Bond.
    Description
    This 16mm color film is a short documentary produced for the Black Journal television program on the early and promising political career of Julian Bond; a civil rights activist and then member of the Georgia State Legislature. In this short film, Julian Bond discusses his constituents and political conflicts and goals as a black activist.
    The film begins with the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where Democrats announced their nomination of Julian Bond for Vice President of the United States. The narrator then begins to describe who Julian Bond is and how he started his political career as a civil rights activist, and later shifting his efforts to the political arena. Julian Bond discusses why he got involved in politics and how he hopes to use it to implement some of the changes he advocated for during his years as an activist. As a young and popular politician, he is in high demand and travels to New York to campaign on behalf of New York State Senatorial candidate Paul O'Dwyer. In New York, he engages in a light debate with an African American bystander who questions why he would campaign on behalf of a Ccaucasian politician that he believes is focused on black rights and progress. Another clip from the 1968 Democratic National Convention plays, in which Bond mentions Lester Maddox. An interview with Bond inside of a moving car follows. Julian Bond discusses the economic and social demographic of his constituents, as well as his options for effectively creating change from within the political system. He also discusses his opinions on segregation and integration, and the pros and cons of each regarding specific things like public education and black owned businesses. The films ends with the narrator asking whether or not Julian Bond can continue to express the will of black America while still attracting support from white America.

    Caption
    This button was made for an anti-imperialist march on Washington, D.C. on May 3, 1981. Over 100,000 people marched on the Pentagon protesting the US intervention in El Salvador, Palestine, and southern Africa. The march also focused on national issues such as racial violence, repression of the LGBTQ community, and called for an end to the draft.
    From 1979-1992, a civil war between the military-backed junta and a coalition of Marxist left-wing groups raged in El Salvador. The Carter and Reagan administrations provided significant economic aid and military training to the government of El Salvador. During the war more than 75,000 Salvadorians were killed due to the military’s brutality against civilians.
    This march also occurred during the Atlanta Child Murders. From 1979-1981, at least 28 individuals, all of whom were black, most of whom were young boys were murdered in Atlanta, Georgia. At the time of this march, neither the state nor federal investigations had identified any suspects.
    Description
    A round white pinback button with black text that reads [Defend / Atlanta's / Children / Not / El Salvador's / Junta]. Below this is a green graphic that ends in a pentagon. The graphic reads [March on the Pentagon / May 3] in white. Below this graphic, small black text reads [PEOPLE'S ANTI-WAR / MOBILIZATION]. A folded green ribbon has been attached to the back of the button.
    The manufacturer’s mark for [PEOPLE’S ANTI-WAR MOBILIZATION] is displayed on the underside of the button.

She recalls joining the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Selma to Montgomery March, registering voters in Lowndes County, Alabama, and her arrest in Hayneville, Alabama. She remembers the murder of Jonathan Daniels, a seminary student who saved her life, and discusses her opinions on African American history and the current rate of African Americans in prison.
