Excellent, Keith!. After I shared this on Facebook, a friend had this thought:
“I wonder what he’d say today? Seems like the easiest people to mistreat today are the working poor, unemployed, and homeless. They have no lobbyists or celebrities and politics, the law, and the courts have been growing more hostile to them for years.”
I’m inclined to disagree with Bayard, after reading Keith’s comic mentioning the 25 Black people kicked out of a Charleston restaurant because 1 white guy ‘felt threatened’. I haven’t heard of a room full of gay people shunted out of a place. Of course, I could be wrong…

Love the title (even though it took me moment to figure it out)!! Despite growing up immersed in the Civil Right Movement, I’d never even heard of Bayard Rustin until DN! devoted a program to him [http://www.democracynow.org/2013/8/12/black_gay_and_a_pacifist_bayard AND http://www.democracynow.org/blog/2013/8/12/part_2_civil_rights_leader_bayard_rustins_role_in_organizing_the_march_on_washington%5D.
Clearly, one hell of a guy!

This is a toughie. On the whole, I think it is still women, but, then again, gays have rock-bottom civil rights denied to them.
