O knihe

Bayard and Martin: A Historical Novel About Friendship and the Civil Rights Movement finally sets the record straight about the important role a Gay Activist, Bayard Rustin played in the success of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950's and 1960's. It is about the relationship between Rustin and Dr. Martin Luther Kings, a Baptist preacher during the critical years of the movement. Rustin is instrumental in teaching Dr. King the practical method of non-violence as a tactic to break segregation, not only in Montgomery, Alabama but throughout the South. Rustin also drafts the blueprint that creates the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and it is because of his superb organizational skills that the 1963 March on Washington was a success and led to Dr. King's famous "I have a dream" speech. The novel answers the question would Dr. King consider the Gay movement of today a civil rights issue? For the history buff and readers who want to spend time reading a novel that educates, entertains and empowers, this novel is a must read.
