Strategies for Freedom, the Changing Patterns of Black Protest.
—
Thoughts on effective protest and resistance by a long-time civil rights leader, co-organizer of the 1963 March on Washington (when Martin Luther King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech), and principal aide to Black labor leader and activist, A. Philip Randolph. “From 1964 until his death, Rustin served as executive director of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, which sought to amalgamate the civil rights and labor movements. ... Rustin wrote a series of books and pamphlets in defense of a multiracial civil rights movement and a social democratic welfare state, including Black Studies: Myths and Realities (1969), Down the Line (1971), and Strategies for Freedom: The Changing Patterns of Black Protest (1976). Only a few months before his death, Rustin admitted publicly in an interview published in the Village Voice that he was a homosexual.” (ANB)
