About this listen
The man who organized the March on Washington—every speaker, every bus, every portable toilet for 250,000 people—was deliberately erased from history because he was gay. Bayard Rustin taught Martin Luther King Jr. about nonviolent resistance, masterminded the civil rights movement's greatest triumph, and spent his life being told to hide in the shadows. Even the movement he helped build pushed him aside because of who he loved. This is the story of the brilliant Black gay organizer whose name should be spoken in the same breath as King's—and the uncomfortable reason it isn't.
A pinch of salt to hold what lasts,
A tale to carry what time forgets.
