Not on view

This renowned street portrait prominently features twenty-three-year-old civil-rights activist Julian Bond (1940–2015), the cofounder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and later a six-term Georgia State Senator. It is the final plate in Nothing Personal, the haunting 1964 publication by Richard Avedon and James Baldwin about American identity, violence, fractured politics, and race relations during the early years of the civil rights era.
