CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER
JULIAN BOND COMES OUT FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY

New York -- The National Black Justice Coalition today announced the support of civil rights leader Julian Bond. Bond joins with Coretta Scott King, Carol Moseley Braun, Al Sharpton, John Lewis, Henry Louis Gates and other African American leaders who publicly support marriage equality.
"I see this as a civil rights issue," said Julian Bond. "That means I support gay civil marriage." Bond, the chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), was speaking in his personal capacity and not for the NAACP.

A key figure in the civil rights movement, Julian Bond was one of the founders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960. Bond is the second major African American public figure to announce his support for marriage equality in the past three weeks.
