This picture book is a history of a little-known man who helped make the 1963 March On Washington the event that it was. Bayard Rustin was a Black gay man who put his heart into peaceful protest. He had learned from Gandhi that peaceful protest was the only real way to get your voice heard, and to make things happen. He was successful and the March On Washington was a success. He’s a little-known player in this big event that I am happy now gets his own stage.
