WHEN YOU THINK OF CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS, ACTIVIST BAYARD RUSTIN isn't usually the first to come to mind. For Colman Domingo, who portrays the title character in Rustin, his lack of inclusion in many history lessons is because he was openly queer.
Domingo says it felt like "someone's actively trying to make sure that I don't know who I am...we were really being gaslit." But once Domingo discovered Rustin's impact, how he was central to organizing the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Rustin "became the North Star.
