I found this film surfing YouTube and chose to feature it for Black History month because a college student used the medium of film to learn and teach others about an important figure in (Quaker) history. Below is a note from the directcor.
Andy:
Well, my name is Alex Steele, and I live in Portland, Oregon. I am in my Senior year of my undergraduate degree in English literature. I attend Portland State University. I am an aspiring professor of English literature. My hobbies include reading novels, writing fiction, playing music with friends (I am mainly interested in the guitar), film, American and foreign culture, travel, videogames as art, and I am currently learning how to cook. The short film on Rustin was for a class a few years ago focused on the transition and transgression of American politics and literature from the civil war through the civil rights movement. I had never heard of Bayard Rustin until my professor mentioned his name in a lecture one night. I was astounded how such an influential and powerful figure had largely been overlooked. Our assignment was simply to create a short biography of a major figure of the civil rights movement--preferably one who was lesser known--using any medium we felt worked best. Having a little background interest and practice in film production and editing (a hobby I picked up when I was quite young as a Middle School-aspiring skateboard film director), I worked the Rustin narrative that I had researched into the short documentary film. I am glad so many people have had the chance to watch my small project, and that Rustin's name and story can continue to spread and influence others positively. He was a remarkable man.
Thanks again,
Alex
