United States portal. v. t. e. Bayard Rustin ( / ˈbaɪ.ərd / BY-ərd; March 17, 1912 – August 24, 1987) was an American political activist, a prominent leader in social movements for civil rights, socialism, nonviolence, and gay rights. Rustin was the principal organizer of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963.
Although Rustin helped draft much of King’s memoir, Stride Toward Freedom, Rustin would not allow his name to be credited in the book, telling an associate: “I did not feel that he should bear this kind of burden” ( Papers 4:380n ). Rustin was instrumental in organizing the 1957 Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom.
