From Julian Bond to Simeron Booker, 20 Jan 1970

January 20, 1970

Dear Mr. Booker:

I am writing merely to send you a brochure from the Southern Elections Fund, (SEF), with the hope that a mention by you might send some contributions our way.

The Southern Elections Fund is the only organization in the country which supports candidates for municipal and county elections.

Liberal money currently seems to go toward Mayor's races in the big cities, the anti-war effort, and for more radical groups.

All we promise is the beginning of a democratic, mass-based political movement in the South that hopefully will include the black and white dispossessed people in the region.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond
