Tune in Friday, March 13, 2026 @ 7pm EST/4pm PST/6pm CST for the next “He Said, He Said, He Said Live!” A Look at the World from A Seasoned Black Man’s Perspective…because one perspective isn’t enough!” for “The Architect of the Dream: Bayard Rustin, the 1963 March, and the Radical Power of Being Seen” with Tim’m T. West, Executive Director, Bayard Rustin Society” www.lgbtqinstitute.org

This Friday on He Said, He Said, He Said Live, we honor one of the most brilliant — and often overlooked — architects of theCivil Rights Movement: Bayard Rustin.

The show is titled “The Architect of the Dream: Bayard Rustin, the 1963 March, and the Radical Power of Being Seen.”

Rustin was the strategic genius behind the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom — the moment when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. A master organizer, mentor of nonviolent resistance, and early Freedom Ride pioneer, Rustin helped shape themodern Civil Rights Movement while navigating the harsh reality of being an openly gay man in an era that often pushed him into the shadows.

Joining us for this powerful conversation is our special guest Tim’m T. West, Executive Director of the LGBTQ+ Instituteat the National Center for Civil and Human Rights and Executive Director of the Bayard Rustin Society.

Tim’m is an award-winning educator, poet, hip-hop artist, and nationally recognized advocate whose three-decade career bridges art, education, and activism. A graduate of Duke University, The New School, and Stanford University, he has spent his life advancing conversations at the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and social justice — while alsoleading national efforts to dismantle HIV stigma through art, education, and community leadership.

This week, we explore Rustin’s legacy, the courage of living authentically, and the radical power of visibility in movements for justice.
