Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
On todays show, we bring you a special encore episode from our archives to honor Black history and heritage. We take a look at the life and legacy of Bayard Rustin, one of the most central figures in the African American struggle for civil rights and freedom. He was known as the lead organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and trusted advisor to labor leader A. Phillip Randolph and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Rustins methodology for challenging racial inequality and imperialism centered on his ability to interrelate race, class, gender, and sexuality. “Angelic Troublemaker: Bayard Rustin” combines film excerpts, insightful interviews and speeches from this important figure of the civil rights movement. This program first aired on Making Contact in 2021.
