Bayard Rustin And The Civil Rights Movement

BY CALVIN CRAIG MILLER

Brief Description:
A school library format hardback. Miller combines the life story of a great social activist with the history of the struggle for civil rights in the 40's and 50's, Rustin's impassioned call for nonviolent protest, and his role in organizing both the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1963 March on Washington. Rustin, a global peace leader who traveled to India and many African countries, returned from abroad to serve on a prison chain gang for his activism. His personal story is just as moving as his political one: his homosexuality played a large role in his being banished from the limelight.-Hazel Rochman Grades 6 -10.
