Zusammenfassung: | The dearth of "out" role models and advisers who can speak to young women of color is pitiably small. When I was a child, my older brothers belonged to the Young Progressives, and recruited us younger siblings to help them leaflet our Roxbury community and go door to door collecting money for the defense of the Scottsboro Boy s i Bayard Ruštin, a young man at the time, was my brothers' hero, so it was no surprise to me that throughout the years of the civil rights movement, Ruštin would be out in the forefront along with Randolph and Martin Luther King, Jr. Yet, journalist Nat Hentoff, in an article published in the New York Herald Tribune in 1964, writes of Rustin's many arrests and jailings because of his pacifism, conscientious objector status, and testing of anti-discrimination laws without once mentioning, throughout a five page article, Rustin's sexuality. |
