Reviews"It's easy to understand why these courses would have been popular. His lectures are accessible, comprehensive, and compelling, and Bond, who once hosted Saturday Night Live , and who appeared in a couple of commercial films, was a charismatic presence. This authoritative testimony is bound to become a staple of American civil rights literature." -- Booklist , Starred Review "Mixing reminiscence and analysis of the long struggle against white supremacy, Bond's lessons provide general readers and scholars alike penetrating studies of ideals, motivations, compromises, suffering, and sacrifice that won Blacks' release from the worst of racist Southern pathology. Essential reading." -- Library Journal , Starred Review "[A] . . . revelatory collection of classroom lectures . . . The result is a worthy contribution to the historical record and an inspirational guide for today's social justice activists." -- Publishers Weekly "There was no better teacher of the civil rights movement than Julian Bond. There is no better book for learning the civil rights movement than Julian Bond's Time to Teach . Bond's window into his movement will always be with us. His lessons for our movement will always be with us. An utterly invaluable resource." --Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning "Every chapter radiates deep wisdom, fierce historical reality, and far-sighted philosophical insights. Bond brilliantly comes to grips with what freedom, social justice, and genuine racial equality are about in the American (and global) context." --Douglas Brinkley, the Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and professor of history, Rice University "Julian Bond lived this history with unflinching dignity and matchless grace. I miss him dearly. Our wounded country needs every lesson he teaches." --Taylor Branch, author of the trilogy America in the King Years "Julian Bond, who was one of the greatest people I ever met, was a dedicated teacher, scholar, and civil rights leader. Julian Bond's Time to Teach is a gift and should be required reading for every American. Bond's words are a guiding light to the power we all possess." --Dave Matthews, Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter "The lessons in these lectures speak directly to the urgency of now, like an unsparing and prophetic admonishment to those who can or will not remember the past." --Diane McWhorter, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Carry Me Home "Julian Bond's words continue to educate, inspire, and provoke. As we witness the emergence of new sensibilities regarding the complex ways racism has structured our institutions, Julian Bond's Time to Teach reminds us of historical continuities, unfulfilled dreams, and collective hope for the future." --Angela Y. Davis, Distinguished Professor Emerita, History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz "Forty years ago, I had the good fortune to hear Julian Bond speak. I was a third-year law student at Ole Miss, and there were plenty of skeptics in the crowd. They didn't bother him; nothing did. He was cool, polished, smart, dramatic, and thoroughly prepared. I admitted to myself that I would never be able to speak like him. And I was correct." --John Grisham, "It's easy to understand why these courses would have been popular. His lectures are accessible, comprehensive, and compelling, and Bond, who once hosted Saturday Night Live , and who appeared in a couple of commercial films, was a charismatic presence.

His lectures on the civil rights movement inspired countless young people, helping them recognize their own power as change agents. How incredible that, for the first time, Bond's lectures are fully captured here and are available to a new generation of activists. Julian Bond's Time to Teach is a gift and should be required reading for every American. Bond's words are a guiding light to the power we all possess." --Dave Matthews, Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter "Julian Bond had a piercing moral clarity from a very young age, and it illuminated his teachings as an elder of the civil rights movement.

SynopsisA masterclass in the civil rights movement from one of the legendary activists who led it. Compiled from his original lecture notes, Julian Bond's Time to Teach brings his invaluable teachings to a new generation of readers and provides a necessary toolkit for today's activists in the era of Black Lives Matter and #MeToo. Julian Bond sought to dismantle the perception of the civil rights movement as a peaceful and respectable protest that quickly garnered widespread support. Through his lectures, Bond 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 tackles 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 explains the youth activism, community ties, and strategizing required to build strenuous and successful movements. With these firsthand accounts of the civil rights movement and original photos from Danny Lyon, Julian Bond's Time to Teach makes history come alive.
