A widely recognized leader in the American civil rights movement, Bayard Rustin gained notoriety for his capabilities as an organizer, strategist, and promoter of peaceful protest. Born in 1912, Rustin's early exposure to pacifism and Quaker upbringing played a role to his initiation in activism. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his well-known "I Have a Dream" address at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the event that Rustin helped to organize. Rustin made prominent contributions, but he also encountered prejudice because of his sexual orientation, which periodically overshadowed his accomplishments. This ignited many conversations of the experience of black and queer individuals and the diversities of their experiences due to these identities coexisting with each other.

And now the Pledge of Allegiance!

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
