The free screening of “BROTHER OUTSIDER The Life of Bayard Rustin is a documentary portrait, focusing on Rustin’s activism for peac, racial equality, economic justice and human rights. A master strategist and tireless activist, Baryard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of the 1063 march on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. Despite these achievements, Rustion was silenced, threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned and fired from important leadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era.
