In this letter, Julian Bond addresses Johnny Parham as Chair of the Documentation project. He mentions a missed opportunity to document the Atlanta Student Movement during a reunion. He suggests convening an AUC-wide committee of historians led by Vincent Fort to solicit funds and begin the documentation process. Bond emphasizes the importance of interviewing movement participants and collecting memorabilia and photographs to deposit in the AUC Library. He further states that trained, "objective" historians should be involved in the project. The letter is also addressed to Fort, urging him to consider the same suggestion. The letter concludes with holiday greetings. 2 pages.
