Pamphlet presenting an edited version of a Bayard Rustin address delivered at the December, 1966 meeting of the Jewish Labor Committee’s National Executive Committee. Reprinted with the permission of Dissent Magazine, where it first appeared in their March-April issue of 1967. Published in 1967 by the Jewish Labor Committee. Rustin (1912-1987) was a political activist and prominent leader in social movements for civil rights, socialism, nonviolence, and gay rights. A mentor to Martin Luther King, Rustin was a principal organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and a co-organizer, with King, of the Southern Christian Leadership Congress (SCLC). The present work, repurposed by the JLC because of its unifying vision at a time of social unrest, outlined the limitations of civil rights legal gains and called for sweeping economic reforms to tackle systemic poverty and racial injustice affecting African American communities. 8vo (6” x 9”), pictorial wrappers, 12 pages. Cover design by Eugene Glaberman, graphic designer, political activist, and namesake of Eugene V. Debs. A scarce and influential piece of political ephemera. Some creasing and chipping to lightly rubbed wrappers, with closed tears to spine ends. Small open tears to bottom edge of front wrapper; one small damp stain to top edge, not affecting leaves.
