With an introduction by Bayard Rustin’s partner, Walter Naegle.
Bayard Rustin, the architect of 1963’s March on Washington, was one of the greatest activists and organizers the world has ever known. From five-time Tony Award-winning theater and film director George C. Wolfe (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) comes this stunning portrait of a man who dared to imagine a more just world. As part of our celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy, we’re thrilled to screen this rousing new film that shines a long overdue spotlight on the extraordinary man who—alongside giants like Dr. King, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., and Ella Baker—inspired a movement in a march toward freedom.UPCOMING Screenings
