   For #BlackHistoryMonth, let's remember Bayard Rustin.

   The civil rights leader, when he is remembered at all these days, is remembered for brilliantly organizing the 1963 March on Washington.

   Not everyone appreciated his pioneering approach to intersectionality - and as a gay man, he was sometimes seen as a liability.

   His biographer makes a case for Rustin as the signature radical voice during the 20th century
