Who Is This Man?

Martin Luther King, Jr's "I Have A Dream" speech has become the shorthand of the civil rights movement. We might never have heard it if it were not for a man who has largely been forgotten by history: Bayard Rustin. Explore the life and legacy of Mr. Rustin, a black, gay Quaker who brought Gandhian non–violent protest to America.
