African American civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, who had studied Gandhi's teachings,[19] counseled King to dedicate himself to the principles of non-violence,[20] served as King's main advisor and mentor throughout his early activism,[21] and was the main organizer of the 1963 March on Washington.[22] Rustin's open homosexuality, support of democratic socialism, and his former ties to the Communist Party USA caused many white and African-American leaders to demand King distance himself from Rustin.[23]
