"So long as we concentrate merely on the elimination of racism in our effort to deal with the problems that Black people face, we are on a reactionary course." – Bayard Rustin
"So long as we concentrate merely on the elimination of racism in our effort to deal with the problems that Black people face, we are on a reactionary course. Because we will be obscuring the far more serious problems today than those which are created by either segregation or discrimination.
Bayard Rustin, Civil Rights Leader, and Co-Founder of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, speaks to the City Club on the topic: civil rights today, from race to class, or the declining significance of race.
