| Abstract | Activist Byron Rushing was born on July 29, 1942 in New York City, and raised in Syracuse, New York. He attended Harvard University, leaving in his junior year to participate in the Civil Rights Movement and work for the Congress of Racial Equality in Syracuse, where he worked on issues of employment integration and police brutality. Rushing moved to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1964 to work for the Northern Student Movement, and attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Massachusetts Council for Churches then hired Rushing to establish a community organizing project called Roxbury Associates. In 1969, Rushing returned to Boston as the Director of the Urban Change program for the Urban League. Between 1972 and 1985, he worked as president of the Museum of Afro-American History. In 1982, Rushing was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. Rushing also served on the boards of the Episcopal Women's Caucus and the Episcopal Network for Economic Justice. |
