From Julian Bond to Editors of Motive Magazine, 3 June 1968

June 3, 1968

The Editors Motive Magazine Post Office Box 871 Nashville, Tennessee

Dear sirs:

The other eight black members of the Georgia House of Representatives would be surprised to read in Motive (May, 1968) that I am "the only Negro member."

I also want to make a special acknowledgement to Lerone Bennett, a Senior Editor of Johnson publications, for his unknowing aid in helping me form the ideas which provided me with the basis for the article on Negro politics.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond
