Trouble Maker for Justice: The Story of Bayard Rustin, the Man Behind the March on Washington by Jacqueline Houtman, Walter Naegle, Michael G. Long

In Trouble Maker for Justice, the authors take us through the life of Bayard Rustin, who became one of the key figures of the American Civil Rights Movement alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In 1963, he organized the March on Washington yet he is absent from many history books, in large part because he was openly gay. This biography traces his lifelong commitment to activism and relentless commitment to justice and equality for all.
