Civil rights leader Julian Bond and University of Virginia history professor Phyllis Leffler are documenting the experiences of 51 African-American leaders. They held an event this week on the University grounds that showcased their project “Black Leaders on Leadership: Conversations with Julian Bond.”
Bond and Leffler have collaborated for 14 years on the interviews. Prominent black Virginians were featured in the project, including civil rights lawyer Oliver Hill and former Governor Doug Wilder.
