BAYARD RUSTIN AT THE CROSSROADS
Co-presented with the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice
EXHIBITION OPENING RECEPTION
Friday, November 14th | 6:00 PM
Free event.
RSVP Monique@stonewall-museum.org to attend.
Bayard Rustin at the Crossroads celebrates the life of Bayard Rustin, a brilliant strategist, openly gay Black activist, and key architect of the Civil Rights Movement.
As a trusted advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rustin helped shape the movement’s nonviolent philosophy and organized the historic 1963 March on Washington. Despite facing discrimination for his sexuality, Rustin remained a steadfast advocate for justice, bridging the fight for racial equality with the emerging LGBTQ+ rights movement.
This exhibition explores his enduring legacy and invites reflection on the intersections of identity, courage, and social change.
