On August 28, 1963, a quarter of a million activists and
demonstrators from every corner of America convened for the March
on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It was there and then that they
raised their voices in unison for racial and economic justice for
all Black Americans, to call out inequities, and, ultimately, to
advance the Civil Rights Movement. Every movement has its unsung
heroes. Individuals in the background who work without praise and
accolades, who toil and struggle without notice. One of those
unsung heroes was at the centre of some of the most important
decisions and events of the Civil Rights Movement. Credited with
introducing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to the power of peaceful
protest, for orchestrating the March on Washington, and for
skillfully composing the program that placed Dr. King at the end of
the list of speakers and musicians for what would become his
historic "I Have a Dream" speech, this unsung hero will be
celebrated for the first time in a picture book. The unsung hero
behind the movement was a quiet man. A gay, African American man.
He was Bayard Rustin. On the heels of the sixtieth anniversary of
this historic moment, two acclaimed picture book authors tell
Bayard's inspiring story in an innovative and timeless book. A Song
for the Unsung is the rousing story of one of our nation's greatest
calls to action by honoring one of the men who made it happen.
