Illuminating Bayard
The chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, Bayard Rustin was a West Chester native, but many local students and adults alike are surprised to learn about his prominence as an openly gay Civil Rights activist and advocate for nonviolent resistance. Influences and interactions from his extraordinary life are explored in a traveling performance combining text and songs celebrating Rustin’s legacy as a change-maker.
