Documentary Screening: “Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin”

Virtual

Five years in the making and winner of more than 25 international awards and honors, "Brother Outsider" illuminates the life and work of Bayard Rustin, a visionary activist and strategist who has been called "the unknown hero" of the civil rights movement. A mentor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a disciple of Gandhi, and chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, Rustin dared to live as an openly gay man during the fiercely homophobic 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.
