    WEAR YOUR VALUES

    Bayard Rustin, born on March 17, 1912, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, was a remarkable figure in the American civil rights movement and a tireless advocate for social justice. Throughout his life, Rustin dedicated himself to the pursuit of equality and freedom, leaving an indelible mark on the struggle for civil rights in the United States.


    BAYARD RUSTIN

    Rustin's commitment to civil rights began early in his life. As a young man, Rustin attended Wilberforce University, where he honed his organizing skills and became deeply involved in various social justice causes.

    One of Rustin's most significant contributions to the civil rights movement was his role in organizing the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. This historic event, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, drew over 200,000 participants to the nation's capital. Rustin's meticulous planning and strategic brilliance were instrumental in making the march a resounding success. His ability to coordinate disparate groups and individuals, along with his commitment to nonviolent protest, played a pivotal role in shaping the movement's direction.

    Despite his crucial contributions, Rustin often faced prejudice and discrimination within the civil rights movement itself. As an openly gay man at a time when homosexuality was widely stigmatized, he confronted both homophobia and racism. Nevertheless, he refused to be silenced and continued to fight for the principles of equality and justice.

    He was an ardent pacifist and conscientious objector during World War II, for which he spent time in prison. His commitment to nonviolence and his belief in the power of civil disobedience were central to his activism. Throughout his life, Rustin championed numerous causes, including labor rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and economic justice. He remained a steadfast advocate for marginalized communities.
