Celebrate Bayard Rustin's centennial in 2012.

Born March 17, 1912, Bayard Rustin taught Martin Luther King, Jr. methods of nonviolence, forever altering how African Americans viewed social protest. In 1963, he was the principal organizer of 'the' March on Washington, changing how the world viewed social protest.

Bayard Rustin was a Nonviolent Civil Rights leader who organized, in the background, with those who could bear the burden of his sexual preference. In many pictures he is seen just behind the speaker, when he deserves to be front and center. With the help of Mandy Carter, we are working on special programming for our 2012 convention to highlight his enormous contribution to the civil rights movement.

San Diego Pride 2012
