Brookline Celebrates MLK Day
Join together to honor the values and life of Martin Luther King, Jr. and be inspired!
Attend a FREE viewing of Rustin, the critically acclaimed 2023 movie about the life of Bayard Rustin, unsung hero of the Civil Rights Movement, starring Colman Domingo and produced by Barack and Michelle Obama. Rustin tells the story of Bayard Rustin, an openly gay organizer of the March on Washington, a mentor to Dr. King, and a target of the FBI.
The film will be followed by a brief onstage panel discussion with Martin Summers, Professor of History and African and African Diaspora Studies at Boston College, and Kate Leslie, teacher-leader of the Queer Student Program at Brookline High School. Bernard Greene, Chair of the Brookline Select Board, will moderate the discussion.
The event is free, but tickets are required. In the event that this screening sells out, we will be holding a stand by line.
