Publisher's Note
"The first major biography of Bayard Rustin, who, as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and the Montgomery bus boycott and architect of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, was one of the most important figures of the Civil Rights movement."

Industry Reviews
"In Jervis Anderson's biography, Rustin lives again in all his protean complexity and eccentricity. This is a fine, sensitive book."
Advertisement - David Levering Lewis

"Anderson's great virtue as a biographer...is an ability to...to make sharp and reliable political judgments. His very choice of topics shows how solid are his instincts."
New Republic - Paul Berman (04/21/1997)

"This well-written biography is a fitting tribute to a great civil libertarian."
Johnson

"The picture that emerges from Jervis Anderson's admiring portrait is of a man with an almost insouciant imperviousness to the many trials, assaults and frustrations he experienced as he moved through the public world."
Wheatcroft
