"If we desire a society in which men are brothers, then we must act towards one another with brotherhood. If we can build such a society, then we would have achieved the ultimate goal of human freedom."

Bayard Rustin

Bayard Rustin born this day in 1912. Rustin worked with A. Philip Randolph on the March on Washington Movement in 1941 to press for an end to discrimination in employment. Rustin later organized Freedom Rides and helped to organize the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to strengthen Martin Luther King Jr.'s leadership, teaching King about nonviolence and later serving as an organizer for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

This Ronda Santis clown really hates all things LGBTQI.

I feel like we're two jpgs away from finding out he's a power bottom.

I was so excited to learn that someone is making a biopic about the wonderful #BayardRustin. Until I learned that it was being produces by the Obamas. I hope I'm wrong but I fully expect to get a sanitized version of his sexuality and probably complete erasure of the fact that he was hassled even by his allies for being a socialist as well as being gay. It will likely end with a trite lesson that everyone should just be peaceful all the time without any sense of history, ethics, or nonviolent strategy. Sigh.
