bayard rustin's 100th birthday
one of the greats!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayard_Rustin
Bayard Rustin (March 17, 1912 – August 24, 1987) was an American leader in social movements for civil rights, socialism, pacifism and non-violence, and gay rights. "Bayard" is pronounced to rhyme with hired.
"rhyme with hired"? when did they add that? i've heard at least 2 people who knew him say it more like bay-ard, not by-ard.
