In this episode of State of the Re:Union, the “I Have a Dream” speech has become the shorthand of the Civil Rights Movement – but we might never have heard it, if it were not for another man, who’s largely been forgotten by history: Bayard (BY-yurd) Rustin. In this program hour, we explore the life and legacy of Mr. Rustin, a black, gay, Quaker who brought Gandhian non-violent protest to the Civil Rights movement in America.
