Film & Discussion: Brother Outsider: The life of Bayard Rustin
Monday, January 23 • 6 pm
Student Union - Rathskeller Room
As part of Wright State University Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Events the Bolinga Black Cultural Resource Center in collaboration with the Office of LGBTQA Affairs will be showing Brother Outsider: The life of Bayard Rustin. This film showing will be followed by a facilitated discussion.
Since Brother Outsider: The life of Bayard Rustin premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was nationally broadcasts on several networks, 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 a fiercely homophobic era. Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin combines rare archival footage with provocative interviews to illuminate the life and work of a forgotten prophet of social justice.
Sponsored by the Office of LGBTQA Affairs and the Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center
