Julian Bond died yesterday.

Bond was a co-founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Southern Poverty Law Center. In the early 1960s, he dropped out of college to work on voter registration drives in the American South. 

After the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, Bond was elected a congressman in Georgia’s state legislature. His fellow state congressmen voted 184-12 not to seat him because of his opposition to the Vietnam War, and he was only allowed to serve after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered it.

He also served as chairman of the NAACP for 10 years, between 1998-2008. And he was an early and outspoken advocate of LGBT+ rights, including same sex marriage. (He boycotted the funeral of Coretta Scott King because it was held at a church that opposed marriage equality.)
