A Bayard Rustin Archive Aims to Preserve His Legacy as a Queer Civil Rights Activist
- Social justice advocates are launching a digital archive this fall, led by the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice to preserve and celebrate Rustin’s legacy as a Civil Rights and queer leader.
- Recognizing that resources about Rustin are scattered, the archive aims to compile a living historical record inviting community contributions.
- AP archivists uncovered and digitized rare 1964 footage from museums, archives, and personal sources, enriching the digital archive with articles, photos, videos, telegrams, and speeches.
- The National Black Justice Collective credits Rustin’s legacy for advocacy successes, inspiring younger activists to pursue nonviolent change.
- More broadly, Rustin’s mentorship of King and leadership in key civil rights events continue to influence movements and inspire future generations.
