Cinema with a Cause: “Rustin”

Join the Center for Law and Social Justice for a Feature Presentation of “Rustin”.
Rustin shines a light on Bayard Rustin, an overlooked icon 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.

BK Reader is the official Media Sponsor for this event. We are proud to partner with community leaders and organizations, including Councilwoman Crystal Hudson, Assemblywoman Stefani Zinerman, Women of African Descent Film Festival, and The Links, Incorporated – Brooklyn Chapter.
