Has anyone seen this?  Any good?  I'm looking for stuff to watch during my solo Thanksgiving. especially since rain is forecast.

A biographical historical show focused on the chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington where Reverend King delivers the remembered line "I have a dream". That Mr. Rustin also happened to be gay and powerful folks used that knowledge against him should bring new insights on that march

It is good! I never knew about Rustin until now. It’s a somewhat depressing reminder that even marginalized groups aren’t immune to their own prejudice.

Excellent film and Colman Domingo is incredible; just wish it was longer. They really rushed through the final act.  Bayard's story deserved more meat.

Loved seeing all of these great figures in the movement portrayed like A. Philip Randolph and Cleve Robinson.

I guess where the board of directors supported Mr. Rustin when Congressman Adam Clayton Powell and the radio news of Senator Strom Thurmond attacking was the apex of the story. The actual march being an epilog that if you didn't know the history Mr. Rustin pulled it off.
