Holy Troublemaker: Bayard Rustin
Update: 2025-02-09
Description
Rev. Dr. Larry Peers - Bayard Rustin (1912-1987), a civil rights leader, was called the “architect of the 1963 March on Washington.” It seems that he was eclipsed in his time as a gay man of African descent but is now the subject of films, plays, and books about his life and work.Growing up in West Chester, PA, and inspired by his Quaker grandmother, Rustin’s life is a testimony to non-violent resistance, pacifism, economic justice, and what might be called one of his guiding ideas: “the spiritual equality of everyone.” What wisdom does he offer us now?
