Bayard & Martin

A Historical Novel That Finally Sets the Record Straight

Bayard & Martin: A Historical Novel About Friendship and the Civil Rights Movement, finally sets the record straight about the important role a Gay Activists, Bayard Rustin, played in the success of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950’s and 1960’s. This historical novel about one of the most critical periods in this nation’s history, provides the country with an outstanding rendition of the relationship between Bayard Rustin, a Black Gay man, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister. The novel takes the reader on a journey that begins in January 1956 when Rustin goes to Montgomery, Alabama, to instruct Dr. King on how best to utilize the concept of non-violence, as an effective way to fight the evil of segregation. The relationship between the two men grows, as Dr. King depends on Rustin to conceptualize an organization to continue his work to desegregate other areas of the South. Rustin draws up the blueprint for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Rustin also organizes and coordinates the most famous march in this country’s history, and that was the 1963 March for Jobs and Freedom. Without Rustin’s organizational skills, there never would have been Dr King’s “I have a dream” speech delivered that day from the Lincoln Memorial. In this very important work, the authors point out that Human Rights is a value that all people are guaranteed in this country, if we can only get beyond the petty prejudices that still exist. They also answer the question would Dr. King have considered the Gay Movement a civil rights issue? That answer in the pages of this novel is a resounding yes. For the history buff and readers who want to spend time reading a novel that educates, entertains and empowers, Bayard and Martin: A Historical Novel About Friendship and the Civil Rights Movement, is a must read.
