This club honors Bayard Rustin and James Baldwin, two of America’s greatest African American civil rights icons. Rustin was a consummate tactician and strategist who organized the 1963 March on Washington. Baldwin was a powerful and incisive wordsmith who wrote the 1960s civil rights manifesto, “The Fire Next Time.” Rustin and Baldwin were openly gay at a time when being so incited attacks on one’s body and personhood. All told, they were bold men who loved Black people boldly.
At Rustin & Baldwin, everyone is welcome. No conversation is off limits. We discuss social issues, politics, law, music, food, literature, travel, pop culture, living overseas, and much more.

Civility is Required
You must treat everyone with dignity & respect. Don’t resort to personal attacks or profanity, even if you disagree with someone. Instead, say why you disagree with the person’s position.
Respect the Speaking Queue
If someone is speaking, don’t interrupt. Instead, follow the moderator’s rules for joining the queue so that you can respond once the speaker is done.
Speak for only 3 minutes
The 3-minute rule gives everyone on stage the chance to speak. It also helps you focus your points when you’re speaking. If you’re making good points, you may get more time to speak. Let’s enjoy it.
