Friends are invited to join Ministry on Racism for a Second Hour screening of the film, “Rustin” after the rise of Meeting for Worship on April 26.

Bayard Rustin, a Quaker activist, was the principal organizer for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and served as a member of AFSC's task force that wrote "Speak Truth to Power: A Quaker Search for an Alternative to Violence" (1955). We hope Friends can join us to learn about Rustin’s life.

“Rustin” is the critically acclaimed film from director George C. Wolfe, starring Colman Domingo as Bayard Rustin. Architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington, Rustin challenged authority and never apologized for who he was, but was forgotten despite making history. Rustin spotlights the man who, alongside Martin Luther King Jr., dared to imagine a different world and inspired a movement. The film features an all-star cast including Chris Rock, Glynn Turman, Jeffrey Wright and Audra McDonald.
