The Story Of Bayard Rustin

BY LARRY DANE BRIMNER

Brief Description:
Bayard Rustin was a Quaker, African American civil rights activist, and leader, (1912 - 1987). Here his personal story is set against the history of segregation in his time and focuses on his leadership role, in the struggle for civil rights. On each page, the clearly written, informal text is accompanied by eloquently captioned archival photos that include disturbing images of racist violence, as well as pictures of Rustin in protest mode, passing out antiwar leaflets, advising Dr. Martin Luther King on peaceful protest, organizing the triumphant 1963 March on Washington, and more. Rustin's gay identity gets only passing mention - Booklist
