What made the rights activist Bayard Rustin, who among many other things organized the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, a compelling political figure? David Stein describes Rustin’s political views, his strategic choices, and his focus on economic struggle. Honoring Rustin’s legacy, Stein asserts, means drawing on his wisdom as well as learning from his errors.
