"Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin"
FRIDAY, JANUARY 20
2:00 p.m.
LGBT Resource Center, 323 Illini Union, 1401 West Green Street, Urbana
Brother Outsider has introduced millions of viewers around the world
to the life and work of Bayard Rustin—a visionary strategist and
activist who has been called “the unknown hero” of the civil rights
movement. A disciple of Gandhi, a mentor to Martin Luther King Jr.,
and the architect of the 1963 March on Washington, Rustin dared to
live as an openly gay man during the fiercely homophobic 1940s, 1950s
and 1960s.
