‘Rustin’ review: A vital spotlight on an overlooked and complex civil rights hero

cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/798651

Interesting article. Bayard Rustin was also an anti-communist but considered himself a socialist. He was often lumped in with “the Establishment.” He did work with MLK, Jr., who himself worked with communists, but he was considered to the right of MLK. Still, he did leave a legacy and was considered good a politicking and getting what he and his constituency wanted, from what I understand.
