Crossing the Color Line: From Rhythm and Blues to Rock & Roll

Tuesday. September 4th.  7pm. 
Buford Middle School - Auditorium 

Join us for a very special evening with Mr. Julian Bond. In “Crossing 
the Color Line,” Mr. Bond presents the civil rights movement through a history
of American music. He traces the melding of jazz, blues, country music and
pop into rock & roll, stopping along the way to examine the influences of race,
demographics, war, immigration and technology in this transformation.

>From his student days as a founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee to his former position as Chairman of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Mr. Bond has been a leader in
the movements for civil rights, economic justice, racial equality and peace. The holder of
twenty honorary degrees, he is a Distinguished Professor at American University
in Washington , D.C. , and a Professor of history at the University of Virginia .

This is a free event. Questions?  Contact us at leftofcentercville at gmail.com.  Or check our our website at http://www.leftofcentercville.org.  Left of Center is a Charlottesville , Virginia group of mostly twenty- and thirty-something local Democrats or dem-curious people.
