He organised the March on Washington. He worked with MLK. He was essential to the civil rights movement. But his name was erased from history. Why? Because he was gay. Bayard Rustin is the man the movement tried to forget — and the history we need to reclaim.

QUEER UNCHARTED — SEASON 1

"Erased & Reclaimed" — Ten Stories the World Tried to Erase

The stories of LGBTQ+ history that were suppressed, destroyed, or forgotten. The people who fought for liberation. The institutions that

were burned. The knowledge that was erased. The rights that were won — and are still being fought for.

This season traces a century of queer resistance and institutional erasure. From the burning of the Hirschfeld Institute to the fight for marriage equality. From people deliberately written out of history to movements that reclaimed their own narrative.

This is the history governments wanted hidden. That power wanted erased. And the history queer people refused to let die.
