Unstoppable: How Bayard Rustin organized the 1963 march on Washington   by Michael G. Long   40 pages

This powerful and triumphant picture book biography tells the story of Bayard Rustin, an openly gay civils rights leader, who, with the support of Dr. King and future congressman John Lewis, led 250,000 people to the doorstep of the U.S. government demanding change.

This was a nominee I was reading for an award and really enjoyed learning more about the man who arranged this march.  I had never heard of him before.
