The Life and Times of Bayard Rustin

One of the close advisors of MLK, Jr. and principal architects of the March on Washington, Rustin was instrumental in the organization of Marches in the 50s and 60s. The life, times, and historical contributions of Bayard Rustin have not been explored and given adequate credit for his contribution to the movement. This could be because he was a gay man affiliated with the Communist Party. President Obama awarded him the Congressional Medal of Freedom posthumously for his contribution to the movement. The presenter will walk us through the life and times of Bayard Rustin.

Experience Couched in Poetic Expressions: Society & Me

In one of his many sermons entitled: "A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart," Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. begins with the statement: " The Strong man holds in a living blend strongly marked opposites... But life at its best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony." Building on this profound statement, this presentation offers a poetic analysis of the "self" under the theme of "Society and Me," as follows. A society thrives on the stratification of its members. It is the right of the stratified to unyoke themselves for good or for bad. These poems seek to describe the angst for justice, fairness, equality, and respect for human dignity in poetic expressions. The audience will listen to several short poems from Dr. George Walters-Sleyon's book entitled: Nuggets from The Night: An Anthology of Poetic Expression.

Dr. George M. Walters-Sleyon, Professor, Behavioral Science Department
