A Song for the Unsung: Bayard Rustin, the Man Behind the 1963 March on Washington

Price as of November 9, 2024

On August 28, 1963, a quarter of a million activists and demonstrators from every corner of the United States convened for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It was there and then that they raised their voices in unison to call for racial and economic justice for all Black Americans, to call out inequities, and ultimately to advance the Civil Rights Movement.Every movement has its unsung heroes: individuals who work in the background without praise or accolades, who toil and struggle without notice. One of those unsung heroes was at the center of some of the most important decisions and events of the Civil Rights Movement.That hero was a quiet man, a gay African American man. He was Bayard Rustin.Carole Boston Weatherford and Rob Sanders’s A Song for the Unsung, featuring illustrations from artist Byron McCray, is an inspiring story that answers one of our nation’s greatest calls to action by honoring one of the men who made it happen.Reading Age: 6-10 Years
