The Peace and Social Concerns committee invites Friends/friends to join us at MovieLand/Bow Tie Cinemas on Wednesday, November 8th at 6:30, to watch together the newly released film, Rustin.
The movie is based on the life of Bayard Rustin, a black Civil Rights activist, a close associate of Martin Luther King, an advocate of gay and lesbian rights, and a Quaker. He was the architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington. The movie shines a long overdue spotlight on this extraordinary man who, alongside giants like MLK, Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Ella Baker, dared to imagine a different world and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom.
