Rustin Movie Quotes

Bayard Rustin, the mastermind behind the historic March on Washington in 1963, was an exceptional activist and organizer. He fearlessly challenged those in power and never compromised his identity, beliefs, or desires. Rustin’s determination and courage made a lasting impact on history, yet his contributions were often overlooked. This film finally brings attention to the remarkable man who, alongside influential figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Ella Baker, dared to envision a better world and sparked a movement toward freedom.
