While Rustin adopted Walter Naegle, in 1982,
he was really his lover, in times when marriage was not an option

This section does not by any means contain every Jet article
mentioning Rustin, just the ones I thought most interesting

See This Link for Rustin's Music

Also, This Page has many clippings on Gladys Bentley
from Jet from the 1950s
