From Julian Bond to Ben Fortson, 19 Apr 1968

April 19, 1968

Honorable Ben Fortson Secretary of State State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334

Dear Mr. Fortson:

I just wanted to let you know how much your actions during the time of the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were appreciated.

It is gratifying to know that somewhere in that building someone exists who is capable of the proper gesture at the proper time.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond
