Summary: |
Bayard Rustin's biography not only emphasizes his well-known role as advisor and organizer to leadership in the Civil Rights Movement but expands our view with his activities as speaker, singer, actor, artist, and non-violent activist. This biography provides a brief background of Rustin's childhood, information on the Civil Rights Movement and Rustin's life afterward. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This book on Bayard Rustin belongs in the text set on the Civil Rights Movement. Although Rustin was the behind-the-scenes adviser and organizer, readers will want to keep track of the events he helped to create, either using a reader's journal or a timeline. Why Rustin is not better known makes a good discussion/writing topic. Students can research his
later work helping refugees, supporting young democracies around the world, and protesting apartheid. |
