WASHINGTON – The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has released a new video featuring civil rights pioneer and NAACP Chairman Emeritus Julian Bond as part of their Americans for Marriage Equality public-education campaign.
“There are few who have so dramatically changed this country for the better like Dr. Julian Bond,” said HRC President Joe Solmonese. “We are so grateful this tireless heavyweight of the civil rights movement is advocating on behalf of marriage equality. His voice is sure to spark conversations around the dinner table and in places of work and worship all over this country.”
Bond has had a distinguished career that includes service as NAACP chairman from 1998 to 2010 and as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives. He is a distinguished adjunct professor at American University.
About 53 percent of the American public supports marriage for same-sex couples.
