Clarke will reflect on the wisdom and life of Quaker civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, and how his life and work offers insights and lessons that continue to guide us today and as we look into the future.

Rustin was a pivotal organizer in the civil rights movement, including the Montgomery bus boycott in 1956 and the March on Washington in 1963. As a gay man, he kept himself behind the scenes to avoid what would then have been negativity publicity for the movement. Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Honor in 2013. Rustin died in 1987.
