    Phenomenal Film about Bayard Rustin's Legacy
    I enjoyed this film and watched this with my children. Growing up, there were always snatches of conversations about Bayard Rustin's legacy. I loved the clips and the history that was discussed in this film. Everything about this film was fantastic and helped us to understand the importance of his role during the Civil Rights movement.
