(ThyBlackMan.com) 'Rustin' is a Netflix biopic produced by Barack and Michelle Obama. Bayard Rustin, the underappreciated black 1960s civil rights activist, certainly deserves an ambitious film about his life. After all, the 1963 'March on Washington' that culminated with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic 'I Have a Dream' speech was Rustin's brainchild. Rustin, in a matter of about seven weeks, assembled a team that promoted the march and handled the logistics. This included security, transportation, seating, a sound system, and providing water and restroom facilities for an expected 100,000 attendees that swelled to a crowd of 250,000.
