True. My hat goes off to not only to him, but to the countless others, who strive to make Equality more than just a political football. Props to Mr. Bond..and the everyday person, who is doing what they can!

I heard Julian Bond speak at the March for Equality in Washington last October. It was a fantastic speech and I'm getting a tingle down my spine just thinking about it now. He's a good man.
