"Who Was This Man?"

stateofthereunion.com

Al Letson is the host of the Public Radio Exchange program "The State of the Re: Union." The show captures glimpses of American life as it travels from state-to-state to document interesting people and events. For Black History Month, Letson and his team assembled a special program featuring the life and legacy of Bayard Rustin. Rustin was a civil rights activist, community organizer and a mentor to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Rustin was also a Quaker and a homosexual and an outsider within the African-American community. His influence on the non-violence movement that King encouraged is undisputed, but Rustin's story is often left out of the narrative of the Civil Rights Era. Letson joins host Frank Stasio to talk about the special on Rustin, called "Who Was This Man?," which will air on WUNC this weekend.
