A tireless crusader for justice, a disciple of Gandhi, a mentor to Martin Luther King Jr., and the architect of the legendary 1963 March on Washington, Rustin dared to live as an openly gay man during the fiercly homophobic 1949s, 1950s and 1960s. Brother Outsider reveals the price that Rustin paid for his openness, chronicling both the triumphs and setbacks of his remarkable 60-year career.
