Join us for Bayard Rustin: Poetic Justice Presented by Arnold Weiss today, Monday, June 15th at 6:00 p.m.

"The trailblazing strategist behind the 1963 March on Washington was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013. That's a long way from the days when civil rights activists counted on Bayard Rustin's hard work, but tried to push him aside because he was gay.

For 60 years, Rustin fought for peace and equal rights — demonstrating, organizing and protesting in the United States and around the world." - https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/08/15/212338844/bayard-rustin-the-man-who-organized-the-march-on-washington
