About this episode
In this, the final episode of our series, we look more closely at what it was like to be an openly gay Black man in the 1950s and how it affected Bayard's private life and public persona. Tre'vell invites Dr. Marcus Lee back to the podcast along with journalist and author, Ernest Owens, to discuss some of the more complicated aspects of Rustin's legacy.
