Today in Labor History February 12, 1947: 60 anti-draft demonstrators burned their draft cards in New York City during an antiwar demonstration. Between 400 and 500 veterans and conscientious objectors from World Wars I and II burned their draft cards in two demonstrations, in front of the White House in Washington and at the Labor Temple in New York City, in protest of a proposed universal conscription law. Civil Rights organizers James Peck, Bayard Rustin and A.J. Muste helped organize the anti-draft protests.

Bayard Rustin was one of the primary organizers of the 1963 March on Washington. But since he was African American and gay, people like the Hitler-quoting women in Moms for Liberty would just as soon as not have any mention of him (or, likely, the march as well) in libraries and history class.

Actor Coleman Domingo portrays civil rights activist Bayard Rustin. Smiling while seated at a desk, he has a phone to his ear while holding a cigarette. He's wearing glasses and dressed in a white shirt and striped tie. In the background is a sunlit window covered by Venetian blinds. A radiator is underneath the window; an old-fashioned electrical outlet is on the wall behind Domingo/Rustin

“King insisted Rustin’s background & expertise were invaluable, yet Rustin was resigned to working behind the scenes because of his sexual orientation”

There is a new movie about Bayard Rustin this month. There was also an older one that was very touching. Brother Outsider was one of those. Cannot find the links.

My favorite quote from Bayard Rustin:
“In every community we need a group of angelic troublemakers”
