Gay man in the Civil Rights Movement.

Uploaded by Brianisforever on Jun 14, 2008
This is the story of a man that was part of the civil rights movement and was also gay. This is another reason that gays talk about the civil rights movement themselves. I hope that everyone that watches this video understand what this man did for our country. If you are interested this is off the movie called Out of the Past. Enjoy :)

This great man truly deserves (and I personally would LOVE to see) a major hollywood picture based on his life. One done with the same care and of the same high standard as films such as 'Malcolm X' "Schindler's List' 'Milk' etc. History has blanked out his many strong contributions to the civil rights movement as well as his human rights activities abroad due mainly to his being gay. It's long overdue that he gets the recognition which eluded him in life.

Those of us who were out and carefully reading about people we knew or suspected were gay knew what Adam Clayton Powell did, and what jesse helms did. And we carry that with us til today

@babyxhil - According to a documentary I watched (Brother Outsider), he was a Quaker (Society of Friends).

do you even know why people ask goverment for civil rights? because theyre civilians, and its goverment that grants civil rights... human rights, on the other hand, is a another matter.. and this goverment is denying your human rights, in which it has no right to do

This is inspiring and upsetting. This man has been washed away from so many history books and lessons and class rooms and the minds of youth. He gives me the extra inspiraton I need to fight for equality and equal voice. A lot of my friends have never heard of him and I didn't know of him until I was 17, two years ago. Thank you for posting this: )
