Robert Martin Seda-Schreiber is a chief activist of the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice. Robert forged New Jersey’s first middle school gay-straight alliance, was honored as New Jersey’s State Champion of Equality, served as a Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholar to Japan, received two Senate proclamations recognizing his service to the community, and was named the NEA’s “Social Justice Activist of the Year.”
Before teaching, he founded and ran the Creatures of Awareness Theatre Co., a non-profit community theatre group which raised over $10,000 for AIDS foundations and support groups. As a published and internationally-recognized visual artist, he has continues to create many works of art, the vast majority of which were in the form of donations for various causes and organizations.
Named for a Kennedy and a King, Robert marched on D.C. in the womb and has since followed the path each and every day of his life. His boots have always been on the ground, both literally and figuratively.
