Bayard Rustin

The Singer - Audio Cd

BY BAYARD RUSTIN
"[Quaker] Bayard Rustin became famous for working behind the scenes. The tactics of public protest that became familiar in the 1960s - marches on Washington, Freedom Rides, sit-ins, passive resistance, civil disobedience - were pioneered and refined by Rustin two decades earlier. Indeed, through his decisive influence on Martin Luther King Jr., Rustin created the model for the social movements of post-World War II America - civil rights, antiwar, gay liberation, feminist." - Michael Anderson, New York Times

What a lot of great Songs sung by Bayard Himself: Scandalized my name, Balm in Gilead, Swing low sweet chariot, Mary, what you gonna name your pretty little baby?

I Must Resist

Bayard Rustin's Life In Letters

BY BAYARD RUSTIN, EDITED BY MICHAEL LONG
A collection of over 150 of his letters; his correspondents include the major progressives of his day and touchingly his correspondence with AFSC staff after his arrest. Bayard Rustin's eloquent, impassioned voice, his ability to chart the path "from protest to politics," is both timely and deeply informative. As the Occupy movement ushers America into a pivotal election year, and as politicians and citizens re-assess their goals and strategies, these letters provide direct access to the strategic thinking and tactical planning that led to the successes of one of America's most transformative and historic social movements.
