Bayard Rustin overcame prejudice on multiple levels and ultimately became a key ally of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. As an openly gay Black man during the Jim Crow era, Rustin was arrested for having sex with men. At that time, homosexuality was widely considered a form of mental illness. King was pressured to drop Rustin from his inner circle of advisors because of his sexual orientation, but he refused to abandon him. Rustin’s crowning achievement was organizing the March on Washington, which brought more than 200,000 peaceful protesters of different races and religions to the nation’s capital in August 1963. ⁠
