Film and Discussion: "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin"

Since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and its national broadcasts on PBS’ P.O.V. series, Logo/MTV, and public television’s America ReFramedseries, BROTHER OUTSIDER has introduced millions of viewers around the world to the life and work of Bayard Rustin — a visionary strategist and activist who has been called “the unknown hero” of the civil rights movement. A disciple of Gandhi, a mentor to Martin Luther King Jr., and the architect of the 1963 March on Washington, Rustin dared to live as an openly gay man during the fiercely homophobic 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
