A Song for the Unsung: Bayard Rustin, the Man Behind the 1963 March on Washington
Author/s: Carole Boston Weatherford and Rob Sanders
Illustrator: Byron McCray
Grades: 1 - 2
Every movement has its unsung heroes: individuals who work in the background without praise or accolades, who toil and struggle without notice. One of those unsung heroes was at the center of some of the most important decisions and events of the Civil Rights Movement. That hero was a quiet man, a gay African American man. He was Bayard Rustin. Carole Boston Weatherford and Rob Sanders's A Song for the Unsung, featuring illustrations from artist Byron McCray, is an inspiring story that answers one of our nation’s greatest calls to action by honoring one of the men who made it happen.
