Review Quotes: "Rustin was multifaceted but fallible. In this insightful book, several observers contend that no one else could have done as well. Others are impressed by how Rustin combated oppression and injustice around the world...This book makes clear that Bayard Rustin, a man for his time, is a man for our time too."-- "The Guardian"
