A Bayard Rustin archive aims to preserve his legacy as a queer Civil Rights activist
" Social justice advocates are creating a queer history archive that celebrates Bayard Rustin, a major organizer in the Civil Rights Movement and key architect of the March on Washington.
The legacy of Rustin — who died in 1987 aged 75 — reaches far beyond the estimated 250,000 people he rallied to attend the March on Washington in 1963, when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech. Rustin also played a pivotal role behind the scenes, mentoring King and orchestrating the Montgomery bus boycott.

Social justice advocates are creating a queer history archive that celebrates Bayard Rustin, a major organizer in the Civil Rights Movement and key architect of the March on Washington. The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice says the archive will be available online in the fall. The collection of rare TV footage, documents, and firsthand accounts will illustrate Rustin’s life and influence. He was a mentor to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and a leading organizer of the March on Washington. The Associated Press recently discovered and digitized video showing Rustin addressing rallies in New York.
