This documentary reflects on the life of Bayard Rustin, master strategist and tireless activist, best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington. Helping mold Martin Luther King, Jr. into an international peace symbol, he suffered backlash for being an openly gay man.

This event is part of of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) and Black Public Media’s Pixelating: Indie Films in Black, a series of screenings held in the month of February in honor of Black History Month.
