Lessons from Bayard

Bayard Rustin was a key figure and leader of the Civil Rights Movement, but because he was a gay man, he was mostly relegated to the background and cast as an outsider. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the documentary “Brother Outsider: The Life of Freedom Fighter Bayard Rustin” (co-produced and co-directed by Nancy Kates and Bennett Singer), which chronicles the life, work, and legacy of the great civil rights leader and activist Bayard Rustin, including his successes and contributions to the movement and the challenges he faced, and what we learn and take away from this incredible film in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
