Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Domingo spent months studying Rustin's speech patterns and even learned to play the lute for authenticity. The man COMMITS.
Rustin was forced to resign from the SCLC in 1960 after his arrest on 'morals charges' — the film's opening shows this erasure in real time, not flashback.

There wouldn't have been a march on Washington if it wasn't for this man. Glad to see he's finally getting some recognition.

I became interested in Rustin after I learned about him in college. Just because he was gay doesn’t mean he should be erased from our history books, he and MLK have come a long way!

After Euphoria and Candyman, I’m so glad Colman Domingo has a leading role in a major film. I’m so looking forward to this 👍
