I remember seeing him portrayed in a movie talking to Martin Luther King, Jr. and explaining the concept of non-violent protest to him. He thought that King would be a better person to lead the civil rights movement because he didn't have the baggage that Rustin did. Can't remember which movie that was, but I have been fascinated with Rustin ever since.
