Bayard Rustin-the man behind the Civil Rights March in 1963
Mr. Rustin LIVED his life. He was talented, well-educated, well-traveled, Gay, outspoken, and broke down barriers along with other great activists. Rustin co-organized the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963.
When reflecting on his own life he acknowledged: “The principal factors which influenced my life are 1) nonviolent tactics; 2) constitutional means; 3) democratic procedures; 4) respect for human personality; 5) a belief that all people are one.”

If I remember correctly, when we used to live in Chicago, the Windy City times hit newsstands every Thursday. This week marks their 25th anniversary and is Chicago’s oldest Gay & Lesbian newspaper. The Windy City Times started in 1985 with a small voice, but a long-term dream that LGBT topics would not only come from The Windy City Times, but that their own newspaper would continue, as other media, to have our news stories and issues mainstream.
Co-founder and current publisher Tracy Baim says “25 years is an important milestone because the modern gay rights movement had just begun its strongest push in the 1960s and 1970s.”
She says now that gay issues are covered better in the mainstream media, niche publications are crucial for covering the community in more meaningful ways.
