Join the BlackQuaker Project, Swarthmore College’s Department of Peace and Conflict Studies, and AFSC for a panel discussion of the 2023 biopic "Rustin." This event will explore the remarkable life and contributions of Bayard Rustin through a series of presentations from a panel of scholars and activists, a roundtable discussion led by Palestinian American Quaker scholar Sa’ed Atshan, and an audience Q & A.

We will walk through the process and have time for conversation about our vision to ensure that all migrants are treated with dignity and respect.
