And a brief discussion of the event:
During his 60-year career as an activist, organizer and “troublemaker,” Bayard Rustin formulated many of the strategies that propelled the American civil rights movement. In 1963, Rustin brought his unique skills to the crowning glory of his civil rights career: his work organizing the March on Washington, the biggest protest America had ever seen. But his open homosexuality forced him to remain in the background, marking him again and again as a “brother outsider.”
A reflection and discussion facilitated by UM students with a personal friend and colleague of both Dr. King and Bayard Rustin follows the viewing of the film.
