 Festival\n\nBrother Outsider – 2003 (83 min.) By Nancy Kates, Bennett 
 Singer\n\nLong before Martin Luther King, Jr. became a national figure, 
 Bayard Rustin routinely put his body — and his life — on the line as a 
 crusader for racial justice. Rustin’s commitment to pacifism and his 
 visionary advocacy of Gandhian nonviolence made him a pioneer in the 1940s, 
 and captured King’s imagination in the 1950s. In 1963, with more than 20 
 years of organizing experience behind him, Rustin brought his unique skills 
 to the crowning glory of his civil rights career: his work organizing the 
 historic March on Washington, the biggest protest America had ever 
 witnessed.\nBut Rustin was also seen as a political liability. He was 
 openly gay during the fiercely homophobic era of the 40s and 50s; as a 
 result, he was frequently shunned by the very civil rights movement he 
 helped create. The compelling new film Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard 
 Rustin chronicles Rustin’s complex life story, a tale of race, prejudice, 
 and idealism at the heart of 20th century America. Though he had to 
 overcome the stereotypes associated with being an illegitimate son, an 
 African American, a gay man and a one-time member of the Communist Party, 
 Rustin — the ultimate outsider — eventually became a public figure and 
 respected political insider. He not only shaped civil rights movement 
 strategy as a longtime advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr., but was known 
 and respected by numerous U.S. Presidents and foreign leaders.\nThe 
 screening will be followed by audience Q&A.\n\nSponsored by Gray
