Liberation, 1956-77Liberation was founded, published, and edited by David Dellinger, Bayard Rustin, Sidney Lens, Roy Finch, and A. J. Muste[2] out of New York City[3][4] and Glen Gardner, New Jersey.[2] Muste brought funding from the War Resisters League.[3][5] For Rustin, the magazine was a major commitment of time and energy, raising money and meeting every week with Muste.[6] He wrote to Martin Luther King Jr.,[7] who later wrote for the magazine. The June 1963 issue contained the first full publication of King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" and the first version with that title. (wiki entry)
