UVA LIBRARY GETS CIVIL RIGHTS PAPERS; JULIAN BOND TO TEACH

Some 5,500 documents and photographs of the Southern Elections Fund - a candidate-support organization once headed by civil rights activist Julian Bond - have been acquired by the University of Virginia's Alderman Library.

UVa also has acquired Bond, at least for the upcoming fall semester, officials said.

Bond, a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 1960s and longtime Georgia state legislator, will be a visiting faculty member, teaching two history courses on the civil rights movement.

From 1968 to 1975, the Southern Elections Fund helped channel campaign donations and technical assistance to progressive Southern, primarily black, candidates, officials said.

The collection, which was acquired with private money, includes Bond's professional and personal correspondence, mailing lists and newsletters, and photographs and videotapes.
