Julian Bond Speaks at Florence State University

Students Dig Drugs, not Politics: Bond

Title

Description

A Tuesday, May 18 1971 *Florence Times-Tri-Cities Daily* advertisement for Georgia State Legislator and Civil Rights activist Julian Bond, the guest speaker of the Florence State Convocation Committee, speaking on "What's Next" Tuesday, May 18, at 7:30 pm at the Lurleen B. Wallace Auditorium.

The *Tri-Cities Daily,* reporting on Bond's speech in its Wednesday, May 19 edition, noted that he was critical of "activists who are 'more concerned with themselves than with their communities'" as well as the penchant of "modern youth" to be too tied to "big causes" at the expense of individuals. And according to Bond, "the attempted coalition with labor, college students, and the radical left have failed Negroes." Bond was also critical of the Nixon administration and the administration of Alabama Governor George Wallace as well as FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
