Bayard Rustin was one of the most influential organizers of the civil rights movement, leading key protests like the 1963 March on Washington for racial justice.

Bayard dedicated his life to fighting for equal rights for the Black community, LGBTQ people, and economic justice.

Black and white photo of Bayard Rustin in a suit sitting at a desk with papers on it. Text on the graphic reads "When an individual is protesting society's refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him." The quote is attributed to Bayard Rustin, civil rights activist, organizer for the 1963 March on Washington
