Bayard Rustin
Back when I was working as an archivist at the American Jewish Historical Society at the Center for Jewish History in Manhattan, one of the most interesting figures I had the pleasure of learning about was proudly and publicly gay Civil Rights activist, advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King, and firm believer in the importance of Black and Jewish American communal solidarity: Bayard Rustin.

Check out the small, but fascinating collection here! The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture highly recommends this study of Mr. Rustin, and the NMAAHC has a fantastic bio here, with a link to further collections materials. I also highly recommend taking a look at some of the photos and related collections held by the Library of Congress.
As some of you may know, a well-received biopic of this fascinating figure was recently released. And incidentally, my dear friend and DC-based actor, Emily Gilson, had a small, but impactful role in the film as "Little Rock White Girl."
Check it out! Or at least, check out some of these fantastic collections.

The Lead Actor Roundtable for the Los Angeles Times: Jeffrey Wright (AMERICAN FICTION), Colman Domingo (RUSTIN), Andrew Scott (ALL OF US STRANGERS), Cillian Murphy (OPPENHEIMER) and Paul Giamatti (THE HOLDOVERS).
-Having seen ALL OF US STRANGERS twice..
NO SPOILERS
Paul Mescal's Harry?
Mescal himself? I wouldn't even ask him to empty my trash¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
But man, does he and Andrew Scott go well together.

RUSTIN | Official Teaser Trailer
The architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington, Bayard Rustin was one of the greatest activists and organizers the world has ever known. He challenged authority, never apologized for who he was, what he believed, or who he desired. And he did not back down. He made history, and in turn, he was forgotten. Directed by DGA award and five-time Tony award winner George C. Wolfe and starring Emmy award winner Colman Domingo, Rustin shines a long overdue spotlight on the extraordinary man who, alongside giants like the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Ella Baker, dared to imagine a different world, and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom.
Produced by Academy award winner Bruce Cohen, Higher Ground's Tonia Davis and George C. Wolfe.

Everyone should watch Rustin – the latest Netflix film. It celebrates the life and legacy of Bayard Rustin, a giant of the civil rights movement and the architect of the 1963 March on Washington.
I am so happy his incredible story is being told finally. Bayard Rustin was incredibly smart, strategic, brave and charismatic. He is a pioneer of civil rights, nonviolence, and gay rights. We owe so much to this incredible man and we don't talk enough about him.
He did so much for us and it should be recognized.

Indeed, it is precisely this concept of a universal community that forms the common thread in all the examples we have cited. It was the refusal to break this unity, to see the prisoner, the insane man, the slave, the Indian as an "other" that made possible the fruitful use of the method of non-violence. The method itself builds community, because respect for all men and loving concern practically expressed tend to heal the breach that hatred and fear and indifference create. Moreover, it is just this sense of unity that is required to sustain the system of law and justice upon which the hope of peace rests. Should not a world drifting toward disaster because it has no sense of community explore with utmost earnestness a method for resolving conflict that builds community in its very operation?

Thoughts on Netflix's Rustin
I watched Rustin over the weekend. I really liked it Colman Domingo was fantastic and deserves his nominations. The film focuses on the conception and development of the 1963 march on Washington DC and how Bayard Rustin's involvement was downplayed because he was an unashamed gay man. One character is supposedly mostly made up, Rustin's main love interest. I think they did think to give Rustin a black love interest, I don't know if he was interested in black men, but the two known long term partners he had were white. But it also shows what closeted black men of the time went through. There is a white staffer that Rustin has a passing fling with, but he's more into Bayard than Bayard is into him.
Also, there's a portrayal of baby John Lewis
It makes me want to be a low key modern day Rustin. Something to aspire to.

Quote
I maintain that there are two elements in our society which can block Nixon’s strategy and they are the labor movement and the minorities, particularly the blacks. I, therefore, say to the young people in the YPSL: You ought to recognize that economic progress is the basis for maintaining our coalition—that we are going to win because we emphasize, above all others, the economic issues in this society. Because there is no possibility for black people making progress if we emphasize only race. [We must emphasize the fact that the civil rights problem is at heart an economic problem.] You can psychoanalyze every white person in the United States until he comes out pristine pure tomorrow morning, filled with love for black people—and that will not provide jobs for blacks or build housing. That is a political task which we must face.
Bayard Rustin, “Socialism or Moralism?”
