Michael G. Long—Associate Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies at Elizabethtown College and editor of I Must Resist: Bayard Rustin's Life in Letters—will discuss the importance of Rustin as a strategist in the civil rights movement, the challenges posed by his identity as an openly gay man, and lessons we can draw from his Quaker-inspired quest for peace with justice. After the talk, there will be refreshments, and guests will have an opportunity to create a peace pinwheel as a visual reminder of the event and as a sign of their commitment to the principles of nonviolence.

This event is part of Peace Week Delaware (September 15-23). A full schedule of the week's events is available at the following location: http://www.peaceweekdelaware.org/2018-events/.
