The Chester County History Center will host its first RUSTIN: DAY OF FILM in honor of Bayard Rustin and in celebration of the stories and storytellers that elevate the African American and LGBTQ+ experiences. 

The History Center will welcome guests to a 90-minute block of short films curated by our partners at the West Chester Film Festival. 

June is a special month to celebrate the powerful story of Bayard Rustin, the West Chester native and openly gay Black civil rights leader who dedicated his life to a quest for racial equality, and who serves as the inspiration for this Day of Film.
