Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. National Holiday

Today is the national holiday honoring the late great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King was and still is a national hero. However, many of you don't know about Bayard Rustin, who was one of Dr. Kings' chief advisers, and who is considered by many to be the 'brains' behind some of Dr. King's most notable moves, including the historic 'March on Washington'.

Bayard Rustin was an openly gay black man who came from a Quaker religious background. This influenced his ethos for non-violence and justice for all. To learn more about this great behind-the-scenes hero of the Civil Rights Movement click here.... http://www.quakerinfo.com/quak_br.shtml .
