Julian Bond, chair of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and University professor of American history, spoke out against California's Proposition 54 at a rally Saturday in Berkley, CA.
The proposition, known by its proponents as the Racial Privacy Initiative, stipulates "The state shall not classify any individual by race, ethnicity, color or national origin in the operation of public education, public contracting or public employment."
While at Berkley's city hall, Bond also signed a civil rights pledge that began 40 years ago with the March on Washington.
California voters are set to vote on Proposition 54 at an October 7 election, although a recent federal ruling against the use of punch cards may force the state to postpone the referendum.
