This Ricardo Levins-Morales poster introduces students to Bayard Rustin, civil rights leader and organizer.

“An unsung hero of the civil rights movement, Rustin was instrumental in building the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. He was sometimes sidelined (under pressure from the Kennedy administration who threatened to isolate him for being gay) but was always brought back for his organizing abilities. He drifted to the right later in his life but left an indelible mark on the struggles of his day.” (Publisher’s description.)
