Percy Julian, Jr.'s Death at 67 A Shock
The passing in Madison of Attorney Percy Julian, Jr. means that the State of Wisconsin has lost one of its civil rights mainstays, and a genuinely decent man.
We send condolences to his colleagues, friends and family.
After just watching NOVA's biography on Percy Julian, I googled Percy Jr. whom I have met and been impressed by at the WAM conferences....only to be stunned to see that he just this week passed away. What a loss for all. I was looking forward to when next we would meet to continue our discussion(s), based on what I learned aobu this father and namesake. Life is short indeed.
