Description

Rustin: A Film by George C. Wolfe sheds light on Bayard Rustin, the unsung hero behind the 1963 March on Washington, directed by George C. Wolfe and featuring Colman Domingo. Rustin, a fearless activist, challenged authority without apology and made history, only to be forgotten.

The film, produced by Bruce Cohen and supported by a star-studded cast including Chris Rock and Audra McDonald, captures Rustin’s journey alongside civil rights giants. The book, guided by Thulani Davis, provides an in-depth behind-the-scenes glimpse, delving into the real-life heroes who inspired the civil rights movement.

Accompanied by visuals and contributions from George C. Wolfe, Michelle Obama, and Walter Naegle, Rustin’s partner, the title pays homage to a remarkable filmmaker, a committed cast and crew, and a man who bravely stood for what is right.
