In celebration of Black History Month, Spectum is partnering with the Black Faculty and Staff Association to offer the Notre Dame community a free screening of the new Best Actor Oscar-nominated biopic, Rustin. Bayard Rustin was a civil rights activist, a Notre Dame Trustee, and an openly gay Black man who helped change the course of Civil Rights history by orchestrating the 1963 March on Washington. We'll follow the screening with a social gathering.
Mark your calendar for next Friday now! Here are the details:
- 3-5 p.m. - Rustin Film Screening, Browning Cinema in the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center (free)
- 5 p.m. - Film Discussion and Happy Hour at Legends
Sponsored by Spectrum LGBTQ+ and Ally ERG, Black Faculty and Staff Association ERG, NDHR, and the Office of Institutional Transformation.
