From Julian Bond to Johnny Parham, 14 Jan 1970

January 14, 1970

Dear Johnny:

I remember that you once offered to help me decide about possible investments.

Well, I am involved (through Board membership, 100 free shares of stock) in a company called Black Educational Services Incorporated of 1410 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago.

When I joined the firm, I understood they were to see black history books. Now they have begun to franchise what I understand to be blakc bookstores.

Have you any knowledge of their operations? Any advice?

Sincerely,

Julian Bond

Mr. Johnny Parham Curber Associates 120 East 56th Street New York, New York
