Julian Bond
    Historian and civil rights activist Julian Bond will present the Lawrence F. Brewster Lecture in History at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 in Wright Auditorium at East Carolina University.

    Bond will present "Crossing the Color Line: From Rhythm 'N Blues to Rock 'N Roll," as part of the Voyages of Discovery Lecture Series on campus. He will discuss the civil rights movement through a history of American music, using images and bits of music to trace the melding of jazz, blues, country music and pop into rock & roll, all while examining this transformation through the influences of race, demographics, war, immigration and technology.

    The lecture is co-sponsored by the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences Department of History, ECU Chancellor's Office, Office of the Provost, Division of Student Affairs, and the Division of Health Sciences.

    One complimentary ticket is available to ECU students with a valid ECU ID. Tickets are $10 for ECU faculty, staff, and all other attendees, and are available through the ECU Central Ticket Office by calling 252-328-4788 or 1-800-ECU-ARTS.
