A clip from "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin." Five years in the making and the winner of more than 20 awards, "Brother Outsider" illuminates the life and work of Bayard Rustin, a visionary activist and strategist who has been called "the unknown hero" of the civil rights movement. A tireless crusader for justice, a disciple of Gandhi, a mentor to Martin Luther King Jr., and the architect of the legendary March on Washington, Rustin dared to live as an openly gay man during the fiercely homophobic 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. "Brother Outsider" reveals the price that Rustin paid for this openness, chronicling both the triumphs and setbacks of his remarkable 60-year career.

  • malcolm saw the future!!

  • I think what Rustin was saying and what I agree with is that the Civil Rights Movement was not just about liberating the Black man. It also had to be about Economic prosperity among all men and that included poor Whites

  • This movie has gotten Boule written ALL over it!

  • Anyone know where this full debate can be found?

  • @DrDaystrom Too bad Malcolm apologized to Elijah and said he still believes the NOI teachings on tape before he was murdered by the CIA. There also a recording of Malcolm meeting with the FBI to discuss money for inside information. Intellectually and morally bankrupt philosophies came from homosexuals like Rustin.

  • @CDW757 ...except Malcolm himself later repudiated his separatist views saying that he was doing nothing more than blindly following Elijah Muhammad. Sorry but the NOI is based on the intellectually and morally bankrupt philosophies of the (at least) partially White charlatain W. Fard Muhammad.

  • uncle tom ass nigga... Malcolm smashed him.

  • @bluesboy25000 That was exactly what was wrong with the civil rights movement. Every other social group was able to get all the benefits even though it was black people who took all the abuse.

  • @mdna72 Rustin, the Nation of Islam, and the Ku Klux Klan were all being funded by the federal government. It was about instigation and destabilization.

  • Bayard Rustin was a gay faggot, uncle tom nigger. FUCK HIM!!!
