I recommend listening to State of the Re-Union - focused on Bayard

Rustin - this is Black History Month. It's a chance to learn about one person involved with King on civil rights. What is fascinating is that after successes and Johnson getting the rights bill passed, Rustin departed from others in that he believed progress should follow a political path with concentration on jobs. Everyone (seems like everyone) else favored protests. What foresight. (Not that protests were wrong, but we found was how easy it was for protestors to be smeared and how increasingly militant the police actions have become and how deadly the tools became and how many abusers have gotten away with their tactics and jobs are still the problem and have always been the problem over decades). Everything else in the program is also fascinating - I learned things I never knew before - perhaps I'm the only one who didn't know this stuff.

It appears to be the work of PRX - (NPR). I will try to find a link. Maybe someone has one - or their local NPR has it.

Heads up! If you wish. The name of this particular program is "Who Is This Man?" - part ot eht State of the Re-Union.
