Movie overview:

The powerful true story of Bayard Rustin, the openly gay Black Civil Rights leader who dedicated his life to a quest for racial equality, starring Colman Domingo. Architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington, Rustin challenged authority and never apologized for who he was, but was forgotten due to homophobia despite helping change the course of Civil Rights history. This movie spotlights the man who, alongside Martin Luther King Jr., dared to imagine a different world and inspired a movement.
