Bayard Rustin was an unapologetically gay Black man who was also a brilliant social activist and organizer. His friendship with Martin Luther King led to his creation of the historic March on Washington in 1963. Colman Domingo embodies the character layered with the undeniable charisma and meaningful depth that deserves award consideration. Director George C. Wolfe has surrounded him with an exceptional cast and filled every scene with compelling moments. This historical event was not without challenges and writers Julian Breece & Dustin Lance Black have told this story richly handling each setback and success. This is an important and fascinating story about a flamboyant man who was an important figure in the fight for equality.
