It’s 1964. A white man walks into a public restroom in a Washington, DC park. He’s looking for sex. Just like the next man to come in, a black man. His name is Bayard Rustin, friend to Martin Luther King, Jr. and civil rights organizer of the March on Washington. The first man is Walter Jenkins, friend and top aide of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
This imagined encounter between two iconic figures of history illuminates issues of sexuality, race and masculinity.
