FOR executive director Ariel Gold was among the contributors to “Bayard Rustin: A Legacy of Protest and Politics,” edited by Michael G. Long. Essence magazine noted, “This volume celebrates the life and legacy of Bayard Rustin, the often overlooked civil rights leader behind the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. While Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech is etched into the collective memory, fewer people recognize the pivotal role Rustin played in organizing this monumental event in just eight weeks.”
