Julian Bond

We stand now near have just passed our 200th birthday as a people - - afraid of what the future will bring and afraid to look too critically at our past, afraid to assign guilt and ] 10 responsibility for our common conditon.

We have a fairly new president, elected by a majority of one, who in turn has chosen a new vice-president. Ourselves in a time of international turmoil and domestic dilemma, of national indecision about the ways and means to stop rising prices and falling expectations. Across the rest of the world, rather swift changes are taking place.
