As an organizer, strategist, and pioneer in the use of Gandhian tactics, Bayard Rustin (1910-1987)
was one of the most influential black protest leaders of the twentieth century. Although he deliberately
maintained a low profile throughout his fifty years of social activism, his skill at conceiving and planning
protest demonstrations and his perceptive analysis of movement trends earned him the respect of
wide sectors of the civil rights (and pacifist) movements. Moreover, his role as a behind-the-scenes
adviser to both A. Philip Randoph and Martin Luther King, Jr., allowed him to help shape the course
of the post-World War II civil rights struggle.
Born and raised in southeastern Pennsylvania, Rustin attended Cheney Institute and then the
College of the City of New York. While at the latter institution he was an organizer of the Young
Communist League (YCL) and was active in the youth affiliate of A. Philip Randolph's March on
Washington movement. In 1942, disillusioned with the Communist party's shift in tactics and its softpedaling of the civil rights issue, Rustin left the YCL and found a congenial home in the pacifist
Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR). While serving with James Farmer as a race relations secretary
for the FOR, Rustin pioneered in nonviolent direct-action tactics, helped establish chapters of the
fledgling Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and spent three years in prison as a conscientious
objector. After World War II, Rustin participated in the CORE-sponsored Journey of Reconciliation
(a precursor of the famous 1961 Freedom Rides), for which he served twenty-two days on a North
Carolina chain gang. In 1948, he was a leading figure in Randolph's League for Non-Violent Civil
Disobedience Against Military Segregation. During the next several years, Rustin was active in the
War Resisters League (WRL); visited India; journeyed to Africa several times to advise Kwame
Nkrumah, Nnamdi Azikiwe, and Julius Nyerere on the use of Gandhian tactics against British
colonialism; and in 1955 was sent by the WRL to Montgomery, Alabama, where he became an
influential adviser of Martin Luther King, Jr.
During the following decade from his base in the WRL, Rustin was involved in many of the most
important civil rights campaigns, served as a valued adviser to King in organizing the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference, and became the architect of A. Philip Randolph's strategies as a
civil rights leader. Between 1957 and 1959 he acted as a liaison between Randolph and King to
organize the majordemonstrations in Washington, D.C., the Prayer Pilgrimage of 1957, and the Youth
Marches for Integrated Schools in 1958 and 1959.
Finally, it was Rustin who urged Randolph in 1963 to call for a mass march on Washington, D.C.
In his capacity as deputy director, Rustin was the real organizer and strategist for the historic 1963
March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. One of the most critical tasks he performed was the
highly delicate one of bringing together all the major black protest organizations in support of the
march. The march established Rustin as a public figure for the first time. Dedicated, as he had been
for years, to the view that progress would come only from an alliance between blacks and the labor
movement, Rustin devoted the remaining years of his life to cultivating such an alliance as director
of the AFL-CIO-sponsored A. Philip Randolph Institute.
Scholars will find the files dealing with the 1963 March on Washington especially valuable. Other
collections of University Publications of America's Black Studies Research Sources series that bear
on Rustin's life and work include The Papers of A. Philip Randolph, The Martin Luther King, Jr. FBI
File, and Centers of the Southern Struggle.

The Bayard Rustin Papers were made available to University Publications of America (UPA)
through the A. Philip Randolph Institute. The originals, held at the institute's headquarters in New
York, will be deposited at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., at a later date.
At the request of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, the arrangement of the papers was left largely
intact with only minor alterations made by the UPA editorial staff. In this arrangement there are four
separate series of material: (1) Alphabetical Subject File; (2) Chronological Subject File; (3) Articles,
Essays, Symposia Remarks, and Speeches; and (4) General Correspondence File.
Alphabetical Subject File (Reels 1 through 6)
These subject files cover virtually every aspect of Rustin's career from the early 1940s through his
death in 1987. Although their breadth is wide, theirdepth varies considerably. Among the majortopics
that are covered in this series, the following should be noted.
Many files document relations between the American Jewish and African-American communities.
Rustin's firm support for Israel and his efforts to counteract anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic sentiments
among black nationalists are recurrent themes. To counter black nationalist attacks on Israel, Rustin
formed a national organization•the Black Americans to Support Israel Committee (BASIC). There
is a small file on this organization in this series and a much larger file on BASIC in the Chronological
Subject File series described below.
Files on President Reagan's visit to Bitburg Cemetery, the Holocost Memorial Museum in
Washington, D.C., the Ariel Sharon libel suit against Time magazine, and terrorism in general add to
the theme of relations with the American Jewish community. A file on the United Federation of
Teachers documents some of the points of friction between the largely Jewish union and the New York
City black community.
Rustin's role as a pacifist and a leaderof the Fellowshipof Reconciliation (FOR) is a recurrent theme
in several files. The FOR file covers his imprisonment for conscientious objection during World War
II. There are also two sizable files on the FOR's protest of the Japanese internment during the war.
Rustin's postwar pacifist endeavors can be traced through files on the Journey of Reconciliation, the
War Resisters League (WRL), and the Peace Training Unit.
The development of Rustin's Gandhian strategy for nonviolent, direct action as a civil rights strategy
is covered in a number of the files. Researchers should start with the files listed above under the FOR,
and then see the files under Gandhi, the Montgomery Improvement Association, the Poor People's
Campaign, the March on Washington movement, the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom, and Race
Relations Institutes and Workshops.
Rustin's role as one of the leaders of the civil rights movement from the late 1950s until his death
in 1987 is evident in many of the files in this series. In addition to the files listed in the previous
paragraph, researchers should consult the files on Martin Luther King, Jr., the Memphis Sanitation
Workers Strike, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Whitney M. Young.
Another major cluster of files in this series concerns Rustin's advocacy of the rights of organized
labor and his Socialist political philosophy. Files on labor law reform, right-to-work, and social
democrats highlight this vein of material. Rustin also worked to persuade organized labor to open its
ranks to black workers and he strove to forge an alliance between the labor and the civil rights
movements. These efforts are documented in files pertaining to Harry R. Bridges, Herbert Hill, and
the United Federation of Teachers.
VII
Several files touch on Rustin's personal life, including his avocation for black music (see the
Concerts file, Reel 1, Frame 0439) and his interest in gay rights issues. A number of files contain
material on honorary degrees awarded to Rustin, and there are several files documenting his
harassment in connection with his membership as a youth in a Communist-front organization. (See,
for example, the files discussing the cancelled speaking engagements at Chaminade College and the
University of Maryland.)
Chronological Subject File (Reels 7 through 17)
The Chronological Subject File series contains fewer subjects than the Alphabetical Subject File,
but each subject is covered more voluminously. Although there is some overlap, the arrangement is
basically chronological starting with the extensive file on the 1963 March on Washington and
continuing through the 1970s and 1980s. These files include subjects such as the New York City
School Boycott in 1964, the Freedom Budget program of the later 1960s, BASIC, Black Hebrews,
Falashas (Ethiopian Jews) the International Rescue Committee and Citizens' Commission on
Indochinese Refugees, Freedom House, Social Democrats USA, and the National Emergency
Coalition for Haitian Refugees.
The March on Washington files give the most detail on the logistical coordination of demonstrators.
There are, however, a few folders on the program and proposed plans at the beginning of the file that
shed light on the march strategy. Rustin's own pivotal role in organizing the event remains largely
submerged in spite of the size of the file. There are virtually no personal letters or memoranda written
by Rustin, nor are there any primary records pertaining to Martin Luther King, Jr. (More on Rustin's
personal role in the march can be found in the General Correspondence file, beginning on Reel 20.)
Of considerable value are the many indications of the political issues surrounding the march
throughout the files, including red-baiting of Rustin by Senator Strom Thurmond, a smear campaign
against the march focusing on Rustin's homosexuality, complaints from within the civil rights
movement that women did not have more prominent leadership roles in connection with the march,
security of the demonstrators against right-wing assaults or sabotage, Communist involvement in the
movement, and the impact of the movement on the political establishment in Washington, D.C.
Several of the files concern the efforts of march organizers to garner the support of congressmen, and
there is material on the activities of rightists to discou rage congressional recognition of march leaders.
The impact of the march can be assessed through files that document meetings between march
leaders and both congressmen and the president in the aftermath of the event.
Other subjects that are in the March on Washington files include discrimination against women by
the National Press Club, Home Rule (Washington, D.C), and the bombing of a black Baptist church
in Birmingham, Alabama (which occurred a month after the march, when the correspondence files
on the movement were still active on matters pertaining to the aftermath of the march).
The coordination of numerous labor, religious, and civil rights groups is apparent, and there is
material on a number of the celebrities who participated in the march, such as Marlon Brando,
Josephine Baker, Harry Belafonte, Burt Lancaster, James Baldwin, and Ossie Davis. Records of
protest songs and slogans are scattered throughout the files.
The New York City school boycott documents Rustin's efforts to coordinate civil rights organizations
in a bold tactic to force the pace of integration in New York City schools. The school boycott movement
urged parents (especially blacks and Puerto Ricans) to participate in a series of one-day boycotts of
the city's school system, both to publicize the existence of segregation and to pressure the New York
City Board of Education to react or jeopardize state funding due to the sharp increase in absenteeism.
The records illustrate the groups cooperating in the strategy, including many local churches that
offered space for alternative Freedom Center schools during the boycotts.
The Freedom Budget was a proposal to create a guaranteed annual income for all Americans.
Rustin saw the campaign for the guaranteed minimum income as a logical follow-up to the civil rights
legislation of the Lyndon Johnson administration. The records document his efforts to coordinate
liberal and labor groups in support of the proposal and to promote the idea in Congress, where it lost
ground during the escalation of the Vietnam War.
The Black Americans for U.S. Support to Israel Committee file covers the reaction to a 1970 New
York Times advertisement that Rustin drew up in support of Israel and that he persuaded several
prominent black leaders to endorse. The critics ranged from black nationalists and pacifists to critics
of the Israeli government's relationship with South Africa.
viii
The BASIC was a permanent organization that Rustin founded to counteract anti-Israeli sentiment
in the black community. The files touch on a wide range of issues concerning the African-American
and Jewish communities, including Middle Eastern politics and Palestinian self-determination,
Andrew Young's forced resignation as United Nations ambassador, Jesse Jackson's meeting with
Yasir Arafat, the Iranian hostage crisis, and the controversy over black Hebrews in Israel (which
continues in the next file in the series).
The Black Hebrews series concerns a sect in Israel that the Israeli government refused to recognize
as legitimate Hebrews. There is a significant amount of correspondence from the sect's leader, BenAmi Carter, as well as material on Carter's association with Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan.
Allegations of Israeli racism toward and suppression of the sect are prominent features of the file.
The Falashas series deals with the plight of Ethiopian Jews. Their persecution in Ethiopia is
documented as are allegations of Israeli indifference to their plight.
The International Rescue Committee and Citizens Commission on Indochinese Refugees file
documents Rustin's work on behalf of political refugees in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Groups
covered include Ethiopians, Ugandans, South Africans, South Vietnamese, Cambodians, and
Central Americans. (Additional material on Haitian refugees is contained in the last file of the
Chronological Subject File, Reel 17, Frame 0589.)
The Freedom House series documents Rustin's work on behalf of that nonprofit organization. Inthis
connection, he travelled to southern Africa to monitor the Rhodesian-Zimbabwean election in 1980,
investigated Grenada afterthe American investigation, and visited El Salvador in 1984 to investigate
the impact of U.S. policies there.
Social Democrats USA was a group of anti-Communist Socialists led by Rustin. The files on this
ephemeral organization are interesting because of the light they shed on the dilemma of American
Socialists during the ascendency of the Reagan administration in the early 1980s.
The National Emergency Coalition for Haitian Refugees documents Rustin's interest in the Haitian
refugee crisis of the early 1980s. Of special note are the protests against the Immigration and
Naturalization Service for its classification of Haitians as economic rather than political refugees, a
ruling that precluded permanent asylum in the United States.

General Correspondence (Reels 20 through 23)
This series contains much information on many of the topics in the subject series and the writings
files. It also provides generous insights on Rustin's personality and intellect. While there are
numerous letters from civil rights leaders and liberal political figures, there are a great many more
letters from less famous rank-and-file activists. Interestingly, Rustin often responded at considerable
length to the inquiries and statements of his less famous correspondents. His frequent lengthy replies
are typically polished statements on strategies, policies, and the current status of the civil rights
movement. Some of the many interesting topics Rustin discusses are the impact of the antiwar
movement and the New Left on civil rights work, anti-Semitism in the black community, the rise of black
nationalist and black separatist philosophies in the United States, and the fate of liberal idealism in
the face of the rising conservatism of the American public in the 1970s and 1980s. There are scattered
correspondence on virtually every political issue Rustin took up from the 1940s through the end of his
life. The forty-plus years of personal correspondence provides insights on the camaraderie among
pacifists, civil rights activists, socialists, and left liberals, and also sheds light on Rustin's personality.
The more scattered political correspondence is occasionally of major significance.
The series begins with prison letters from conscientious objectors during World War II. Rustin's
prison letters begin in 1944. Pacifist organizations that are represented include the FOR and the
American Friends Serivce Committee (AFSC). Rustin's sojournto Africain 1952 is covered, and there
is a fair amount of follow-up correspondence with Africans throughout the 1950s. Contacts with
pacifist groups continue through the 1950s, with the WRL equalling the prominence of the FOR and
the AFSC in the correspondence.
By 1957, the civil rights theme becomes apparent. A 1957 memorandum by the legendary
Mississippi civil rights leader Ella Baker describes economic exploitation of black families on Delta
cotton plantations. Letters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference also appeared at that
time and include protests to President Eisenhower, congressional leaders, and the attorney general
about vigilante attacks against blacks in the South. Correspondence with the Congress of Racial
Equality (CORE) is in the file as well. Scattered among the personal correspondence for the rest ofthe 1950s is correspondence with civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King, Jr., and pacifists
such as George Willoughby and A. J. Muste.
Correspondence during the 1960s continues to reflect the pacifism and civil rights themes. The
1963 correspondence mostly pertains to Rustin's role in the March on Washington, particularly with
local organizers in the aftermath of the march. Internal politics in such organizations as the CORE and
the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) are sometimes revealed, as in heated controversy between Rustin and attorney Mark Lane (who was later a Kennedy assassination investigator) on the issue of legal counsel for the CORE in 1963, and in the controversy over Rustin's complaint
in October 1964 that members of the SNCC were abandoning the principles of nonviolence in
combatting racism in America. There are also several communications regarding the Mississippi
Freedom Democratic party in the mid-1960s.
For 1964 there are several memoranda and letters about the fight to seat the Mississippi Freedom
Democratic party at the Democratic national convention in Atlantic City. Among the several
communications is a letter from Rustin to Bob Moses in which he tries to justify suspending civil rights
demonstrations during the presidential election to avoid embarrassing Lyndon Johnson. The Harlem
race riots of the summer of 1964 are also an important topic. There are a number of letters exchanged
with New York City civil rights groups concerning police brutality in the city. Letters exchanged with
prominent New Left leaders Todd Gitlin and Tom Hayden discuss the impact of the New Left on the
civil rights movement. An exchange in September 1964 between Julian Bond and Rustin concerns
Rustin's fear that the younger generation of black civil rights leaders was drifting away from the
principles of nonviolence.
Rustin's concern about the use of violence as a strategy in the civil rights movement is documented
throughout his correspondence of the late 1960s. In 1965 he circulated a questionnaire asking for
information on "antidemocratic, violent, and separatist organizations and tendencies in the civil rights
movement." The series contains numerous replies to this inquiry over the course of the 1965 file.
Rustin's concern with antidemocratic tendencies drew the ire of New Left leader Staughton Lynd in
a letter of 1965.
There are several avenues that Rustin developed in the mid-1960s as shown by the correspondence in this series. These avenues include cooperation with sympathetic federal officials in the
Johnson White House, such as Sargent Shriver, director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, and
Vice President Hubert Humphrey. There is also a fair amount of correspondence with Jewish labor
organizations and AFL-CIO affiliates. The A. Philip Randolph Institute, which Rustin directed, was
founded in 1964 to establish links between the labor and civil rights movements. A significant portion
of the correspondence in this series pertains to the institute's work both in broad publicity lines and
in more practical endeavors, such as founding apprenticeship programs to assist minorities in
entering trade unions and conducting voter registration drives.
By 1966 and for years after, Rustin became embroiled in the controversy over the rise of the black
power movement. By 1969 there was a significant amount of correspondence regarding antiwhite and
anti-Semitic racism by leaders of the black power movement, such as Sonny Carson, Immamu Amiri
Baraka (Leroi Jones), Eldridge Cleaver, and H. Rap Brown. Another important vein of correspondence concerns the impact of black studies curriculums on educational standards in American
colleges and secondary schools. Rustin's dismissal of the 1969 "Black Manifesto," which demanded
monetary reparationsfrom white religious denominations forcentu ries of American racism, is another
recurrent topic.
Beginning in 1968, Rustin corresponded regularly with the legendary civil rights movement
fundraiser Kivie Kaplan. Many of the letters concern Kaplan's interest in Israel and his and Rustin's
organization of a 1970 ad campaign in major American newspapers that enlisted the endorsement
of numerous prominent black political leaders underthe theme of Black Americans in Support of Israel
Committee.
By the late 1960s and early 1970s, Rustin was questioned by several scholars who were interested
in the history of the civil rights movement. His often lengthy responses offer reminiscences of both
his role and that of his colleagues in major episodes of the movement. A December 17,1969, letter
to historian Herbert S. Parmet recounts the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom movement in the 1950s
and the reaction of the Eisenhower administration. An exchange with August Meier in April 1973
debates the leadership of A. Philip Randolph in the movement from the 1940s to the 1960s. In an
August 1970 letter, Rustin recollects his past relationship with the John F. Kennedy administration and
offers an assessment of Kennedy.
The correspondence throughout the 1970s touches on many of the major influences on the civil
rights movement and national politics. The challenge of popular conservatism is a frequent topic of
the correspondence after 1970. A lengthy exchange with Senator Edward M. Kennedy in June and
July 1970 discusses the effectiveness of the Nixon administration in harnessing the conservative
backlash inspired by George Wallace. A 1973 exchange with former senator and presidential
candidate Fred Harris discusses the hope of inspiring wage working whites to the cause of liberalism.
Starting in 1970, several correspondents reflect the interests of the feminist and women's liberation
movement and are often critical toward the male domination of the American left, particularly the
Socialist party. Rustin's interest in every presidential race is apparent as is his interest in emerging
black political leaders such as Andrew Young and Julian Bond. Rustin's interest in several localities
and their politics surfaces repeatedly in the correspondence. New York City is the most frequent
subject of local politics. The election of a black mayor, Kenneth Gibson, in Newark, New Jersey, in
1970 and the policies of the Gibson administration were of regular concern to Rustin.
Foreign affairs also became a major theme in the correspondence after 1970. Protests against the
apartheid government of South Africa escalated. Rustin was thrust into a defensive position in the
black community over his staunch support for Israeli military and domestic policies. Rustin's foreign
travel on behalf of both Israeli issues and political refugees from Asia and the Caribbean commanded
more attention.
