A Resolution designating March 17, 2026, as "Bayard Rustin Day" in Pennsylvania.

Schools, government offices, and community organizations might choose to hold educational events or commemorations. **What would change:** If passed, Pennsylvania would formally recognize this specific date in 2026 as honoring Bayard Rustin, who was a key organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and important civil rights leader. The day would appear on the state's official calendar of observances. However, this is a ceremonial designation - it wouldn't create a state holiday, so government offices and schools would remain open as usual. **Background:** Bayard Rustin was a Pennsylvania native who played crucial behind-the-scenes roles in the civil rights movement, though he often remained out of the spotlight due to discrimination he faced as an openly gay man.
