Rustin fought for many causes, mostly racial equality and later gay right. Rustin actually helped during the African American Civil Rights Movement. He actually planned the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Rustin was sidelined from the movement because he was gay. Since he was a gay man he was largely kept out of the public eye.
