They did their part. Now it’s time to do yours.
Daddy and Julian Bond understood that the right to vote was worth fighting for. We honor their work by exercising that right and protecting it for others.
Today is National Black Man Voter Day. Check your voting location and hours. Vote early where available, and bring someone with you. If you’ve already voted, help someone else get to the polls.
Our families, our communities and our future deserve your participation.

My father did not just give speeches. He offered a framework for how to live, how to lead, and how to confront injustice without losing our humanity.
“I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” was not simply a moment of reflection. It was a call to remain steadfast in the work, to organize, to build, and to act with courage and discipline.
If we are serious about honoring his legacy, we cannot stop at quoting him. We must study him.
I encourage you to spend time with his writings, his speeches, and his teachings, and to apply them in your daily life.
