Bayard Rustin, the chief architect of the 1963 March on Washington, is the subject of both a new book and a new film. The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice is having a celebration Saturday.
Walter Naegle, Rustin’s longtime partner and board member emeritus of the BRSJC;
Seda-Schreiber said Rustin was known prior to the 1963 march for speaking “truth to power” in earlier struggles during the 1940s and ‘50s as a labor organizer and pacifist, andfor two years for refusing to be drafted during World War II. Some of his pacifist ideas came from his grandmother, who was a Quaker. He also attended the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church where his grandfather was a member in West Chester.
As he read about that history, Seda-Schreiber found that Rustin had been “definitely relegated to a background role. It’s almost hard to find him in any of the pictures form the march itself.”
