Event Details

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 tireless crusader for justice, a disciple of Gandhi, a mentor to Martin Luther King Jr., and the architect of the legendary 1963 March on Washington, Rustin dared to live as an openly gay man during the fiercely homophobic 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Brother Outsider reveals the price that Rustin paid for this openness, chronicling both the triumphs and setbacks of his remarkable 60-year career.

Following the screening, Walter Naegle, Rustin's life partner, will join us for an engaging Q&A to discuss Rutin's extraordinary life, legacy, and continued relevance today. Kenya Gadsden will moderate. Registration required.
