Bayard Rustin was a key figure in movements for peace, racial justice, and economic fairness in the US in the mid-20th Century. What did he do, and what can we learn from his life? And why do so few people today know who he was?
DEmilio was awarded the Stonewall Book Award in 1984 for his most
widely cited book, Sexual politics, sexual communities, which is
considered the definitive history of the U.S. homophile movement from
1940 to 1970. His biography of the civil-rights leader Bayard Rustin,
Lost prophet: Bayard Rustin and the quest for peace and justice in
America, won the Stonewall Book Award for non-fiction in 2004.He was
the 2005 recipient of the Brudner Prize[4] at Yale University. John DEmilio Speaks About Bayard Rustin at UD](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cbT8NHzSuZs/mqdefault.jpg)
