The film will be shown at the Castellani House to observe Pride Month, which was designated by President Barack Obama this year to recognize the significant contributions of LGBT people throughout the world. Pride Month was first officially recognized in the United States in 2000 by President Clinton.
Brother Outsider is a documentary film illuminating the life and work of Bayard Rustin, an openly gay man that played a crucial role in the American civil rights movement. Following the film, there will be a short discussion and Q&A with Joel Simpson, Managing Director of SASOD.
