Cinema with a Cause: Rustin

  • 1638 Bedford Avenue EOJ Auditorium, Medgar Evers College 1638 Bedford Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11225 United States (map)

Join CLSJ as we uncover Bayard Rustin’s overlooked role in the Civil Rights Movement and inspiring today’s ongoing pursuit of equality.

“Rustin” shines a light on Bayard Rustin, a pivotal yet often overlooked figure in the Civil Rights Movement. Despite facing discrimination for being gay, he boldly organized the 1963 March on Washington and guided activists in nonviolent protest. This powerful film reveals how Rustin’s steadfast commitment to justice and equality influenced leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., inspiring future generations to challenge injustice and shape a more equitable society.
