Bayard Rustin Was No Hollywood Figurehead
Briefly

'It's far worse than even you could imagine,' a friend told me, while another bemoaned its 'malicious presentism.' Yet another friend...said, 'The trailer was enough for me, and I couldn't get through that.'
That's the film in a nutshell. Rustin's politics and his role in the crucial debates over ways forward from the legislative victories of 1964 and '65 don't come up in this story, which conveniently ends with the 1963 March on Washington.
