Watch the NYT video on Bayard Rustin done by the great Coleman Hughes. It's brilliant and dives deeper into his ideological roots. Rustin would've hated what's happening today, but not for reasons you might think.

So glad you all did this! So many people dont know him. I'm glad he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. If anyone is interested, the book Time on Two Crosses is super good to read about his life.

The only people we talk about is MLK and Rosa Parks when it comes to the Civil Rights Movement, but there were many others who dont get talked about. Glad this video is shining light on one of the others.

I really liked the video; very informative and inspiring, especially in the 2020 Riots that occurred after George Floyds death #blacklivesmatter

Sometimes i feel like alot of sad history is closer than we often think about, and the effects and aftermath are still felt in certain places.

I have a feeling that if there's a movie about this man, Chadwick Boseman can play him. You guys have anyone else in mind?
