Synopsis
In 1956 Bayard Rustin taught Martin Luther King Jr. strategies of nonviolence during the Montgomery Bus Boycott, thereby launching the civil rights movement. Widely acclaimed as a founding father of modern black protest, Rustin reached international notoriety in 1963 as the openly gay organizer of the March on Washington. Long before the March on Washington, Rustin's leadership placed him at the vanguard of social protest. His gay identity, however, became a point of contention with the movement, with the controversy embroiling even King himself. Time on Two Crosses offers an insider's view of many of the defining political moments of our time. From Gandhi's impact on African Americans, white supremacists in Congress, and the assassination of Malcolm X to Rustin's never-before-published essays on Louis Farrakhan, affirmative action, and the call for gay rights, Time on Two Crosses chronicles five decades of Rustin's commitment to justice and equality., In 1956 Bayard Rustin taught Martin Luther King Jr. strategies of nonviolence during the Montgomery Bus Boycott, thereby launching the civil rights movement.

    The item was exactly as described, the value, was excellent and the shipping and packaging were amazing! I'm very happy with this seller and would definitely recommend them to anyone who was looking for a great seller to purchase from! This coloring book is excellent for anyone who knows someone who's been affected by someone who's either had cancer, or had cancer themselves! A must purchase! This item was listed as good, but I would've rated it as excellent!

  • Unsung Hero

    One of the most inspiring collections I have read in years. A compelling look back at the history of the Civil Rights movement by a man who was on the right side of virtually every issue. Far ahead of his time with respect to women's rights, gay rights, and a true champion of equality. Insightful, reasoned, and precise, these essays made me remember what it was we were fighting for. A powerful advocate of labor and its dignity from a reformed Marxist viewpoint, Rustin knew that equality was about economic empowerment through work. He was warning us about the way cybernetics was going to destroy jobs before most of us even knew the word. But the real beauty of these essays is Rustin's humility and humanity. A gem of a book. The book would have benefited from an index, and a more thorough ...
