商品簡介
Horace Julian Bond was an influential social-justice activist, politician, and visionary who is best known as one of the founders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). For over two decades, he taught a popular class at the University of Virginia on the history of the civil rights movement. Through his lectures, he 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. Beginning with the movement's origins in the early twentieth century, Bond tackled 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. He explained the youth activism, community ties, and strategizing required to build strenuous and successful movements. Compiled from his original lecture notes, Julian Bond's Time to Teach brings his invaluable teachings to a new generation and provides a necessary toolkit for today's activists in the era of Black Lives Matter and #MeToo.
