Bayard Rustin is one of the most important figures in modern American history whom many people knew nothing about — until now. Netflix’s Rustin, and its towering central performance from Emmy-winning actor Colman Domingo, serves to add his story back into the history books, particularly Rustin’s mentorship of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his role as the architect of the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.
The reason Rustin is absent from mainstream history is made all too clear in the biopic, directed by George C. Wolfe: He was openly gay and was forced to the sidelines because his sexuality was considered too taboo for public leadership — and was also seen as a threat to King’s image as other Civil Rights leaders worked to gain equality for Black Americans.

George C. Wolfe’s 2023 film, Rustin is a biographical drama based on America’s most unsung hero, Bayard Rustin, who was a pivotal figure in the civil rights movement. Along with A. Philip Randolph, Bayard Rustin was key individuals behind the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, igniting the revolution against discrimination based on race, sex, color, and religion. The film masterfully recreated some of the iconic historical moments and even used the famous quotes of these key figures, but it also took some creative liberties for dramatic purposes as well as to showcase the struggles in Bayard Rustin’s life. The makers took some creative liberties in depicting Rustin’s love life by creating two of the most pivotal characters in the storyline. One of them was a young student who fell in love with Rustin and lived with him during the time when he was planning a march,...

Although Colman Domingo’s spent three decades in the entertainment industry, with title roles in the theater, he says he’s been sidelined in film and television. He played a trombonist in Chadwick Boseman’s final film, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; counselor to Zendaya’s troubled Rue in Euphoria; a violent, turn-on-a-dime pimp in Zola, and the father to a wrongly accused Harlem artist (Stephen James) in If Beale Street Could Talk.

Former President Barack Obama made mention of the end of Hollywood’s labor strife at a special screening on Friday of Rustin, the Netflix biopic of civil rights Bayard Rustin made by he and former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Prioductions.
Introducing the movie at the Hbcu First Look Film Festival, Obama said, “It’s great to see even more of you since the strikes are over,” a reference to the restrictions on writers and actors in promoting their projects during the walkout.
He added, “As somebody who cares a lot about the power of workers in this country and as the father of somebody who writes in film, I am glad that both the writers and the actors came to an agreement that recognizes with worth and their work.”
The screening was held at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Bayard Rustin is getting a posthumous honor from the City of New York.
The civil rights leader is at the center of a new New York City holiday, with Mayor Eric Adams declaring November 3 officially Bayard Rustin Day. Netflix film “Rustin” premieres in select theaters today, November 3, followed by a streaming release November 17.
A special screening of the film at the Paris Theatre is organized by Netflix for 300 high school and city college students to mark Bayard Rustin Day, “honoring the legacy of one of the greatest activists and organizers the world has ever known, Bayard Rustin,” per the official release. The celebration at City Hall follows the screening, with a proclamation being handed to the late Rustin’s partner Walter Naegle designating November 3 as Bayard Rustin Day in NYC and celebrating the theatrical release of the film. Naegle also serves as the executive director of the Bayard Rustin Fund.

Black History Month has gotten off to a rocky start this year, and white people fully deserve the blame. Between Virginia hosting not one, but two politicians who have donned blackface, and Liam Neeson openly admitting to once seeking to kill a black man, white ignorance has threatened to overshadow the already too short month in the year that celebrates African American contributions to this country. Thankfully, at least one white person is aiming to correct the imbalance. “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee” will release a Black History Month segment peppered with equal amounts laughs and facts, which IndieWire is debuting exclusively.
Titled “Great Moments in Black History,” the segment is told from a clueless white person’s perspective. As a disembodied voice (segment producer Adam Howard) asks ridiculous questions from behind the camera, the best and brightest black comedians and political commentators patiently school the dweeb, who clearly represents collective white nonsense.
