Rustin Image: First Look At Domingo As Iconic Civil Rights Activist
Netflix releases the first look at Rustin, starring Colman Domingo. The upcoming movie tells the story of Bayard Rustin, a pivotal but unsung figure in the civil rights movement. Rustin will follow his life of activism, namely his involvement in the March on Washington in 1963 where Dr. Martin Luther King made his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Higher Ground Productions, founded by former U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, is producing the film after signing a multi-year deal with Netflix with the goal of promoting diverse voices in the entertainment industry. President Obama posthumously awarded Rustin the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013.
