Biography of Bayard Rastin


Bayard Rustin is an activist, a defender of human rights.

Born March 17, 1912 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Biography Rastin Bayard is known as one of the most influential activists of the 1950s and 1960s, who defend civil rights. Together with Martin Luther King, Randolph Bayard organized protest rallies. He believed in non-violent methods.

As a college student in New York in the late 1930s, Rustin joined the League of Young Communists. As part of the group Rustin was until 1941, when he put all his efforts into the “Society for Reconciliation.” This association sought to find racial justice. At the same time, Bayard was part of the Congress of Racial Equality – a non-violent, purposeful organization to improve racial relations. By all actions, he sought to eliminate racial discrimination in the United States. Rustin and Randolph planned a march in Washington in 1941, which was held against discrimination in defense of industry. The protest was

canceled when President Roosevelt issued the first order supporting African-Americans.

In 1947, in a biography of Bayard Rustin, a “reconciliation trip” was organized, in which people with black and white skin went together. This journey exemplified the model of free relations in the 1960s. Several times for his active position Bayard Rustin was imprisoned.

The long-term unification of Rustin and King began in the 1950s. Then Bayard was a consultant, and in 1957 he became one of the founders of the Conference of Christian Leaders of the South. This was the most important association in the movement to protect civil rights. Probably Bayard’s greatest success in KHL was achieved in March 1963 in Washington. He served as an organizational coordinator for mass gatherings. Then about 250,000 people met at the Lincoln Memorial in support of civil rights legislation. King said his famous speech: “I have a dream.”

The following year, another boycott was organized in the biography of Rustin – in schools in New York. More than 400,000 students were involved. In 1964 Bayard began working at the Randolph Institute, an organization for the protection of workers’ rights. He served as executive director, president from 1964 until his death in 1987.
