Goldberg Seymour Graubard Jack Greenberg Max Greenberg It gives me great pleasure to invite you to attend a dinner in honor of John Griner A. F. Grospiron Bayard Rustin, one of the outstanding leaders of the civil rights movement. Matthew Guinan C. J. Haggerty Bayard recently celebrated his sixtieth birthday—a milestone in a career that Paul Hall John A. Hannah has been devoted to the struggle for social justice. The testimonial dinner Michael Harrington Fred R. Harris will be held on December lUth at the New York Hilton hotel. Philip A. Hart Brooks Hays Dorothy I. Height Andrew Heiskell Throughout his long career Bayard has combined the virtues of astute yan W. Henderson t E. Henry political analysis and vigorous social activism. He has been a forceful and i E. Hoffman Cert H. Humphrey uncompromising proponent of integration, non-violence and democratic social M. A. Hutcheson Henry M. Jackson change. His advocacy of coalition politics has influenced our leading organi­ Jacob K. Javits Paul Jennings zations and institutions. His words have not only guided the action of others, Vernon E. Jordan, Jr. Joseph D. Keenan they have been precepts which have shaped his own life as a long-time activist Edward M. Kennedy Leon H. Keyserling in the non-violent struggle for civil rights. He has been arrested on many Theodore W. Kheel Coretta Scott King occasions and in 19-+7 served for 3 months on a Worth Carolina chain gang for Lane Kirkland Arthur Lelyveld refusing to ride in the back of an interstate bus. John Lewis John V. Lindsay John L. Loeb John H. Lyons In 1963, he planned and directed the March on Washington which brought more Gale W. McGee George McGovern than a quarter of a million people to our nation's capital in a peaceful protest. Benjamin E. Mays Emil Mazey As a fighter for progressive social legislation, he plays a vital role in the Isaiah M. Minkoff Lee W. Minton Leadership Conference on Civil Rights which was instrumental in winning the 196-4 Clarence Mitchell Edmund S. Muskie and 1965 Civil Rights Act and which coordinated the fight against the appoint­ Reinhold Niebuhr Lawrence F. O'Brien ments of Judges Haynesworth and Carswell. Frederick O'Neal Claiborne Pell William Pollock Jacob S. Potofsky And as a man who is committed to international peace, he organized support Leontyne Price S. Frank Raftery in the black community for the beleaguered State of Israel. Nelson A. Rockefeller Peter T. Schoemann John H. Sengstacke Albert Shanker The proceeds of the dinner on the lUth will go to the A. Philip Randolph Floyd E. Smith Carl B. Stokes Institute—of which Bayard is Executive Director—so that he may continue his Louis Stulberg James A. Suffridge fine work.
