        @WSJ; Respectfully Bayard Rustin was a powerhouse but to start numbering pecking orders in the entire Civil Rights effort is repulsive!

        @ERock978 @WSJ @PBS Rustin wasn't assassinated. They're the only one's remembered. If they made an impact or not.

        @senioravenger @WSJ @PBS if they are remembered then they must have made an impact of some sort.

        @ERock978 @WSJ @PBS Sometimes you never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

        @senioravenger @WSJ @PBS that further supports what I said -- and any moments committed to memory are then valuable.
