UA-COMT MedPride wanted to create an event to cap off Pride Month as well as honor some of the important Black and Brown voices within our community. We are collaborating with the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, the Student Diversity Advisory Committee, and the African-American Medical Student Association on a virtual screening of Brother Outsider, a documentary depicting the life of Bayard Rustin, an openly gay African-American man who was an advisor to Martin Luther King Jr. and a lead organizer of the March on Washington. We hope you will join us via Zoom from 6-8 pm on Tuesday, June 30th to watch this film together, educate ourselves about this important figure in Civil Rights history, and participate in a discussion around intersectionality.

We at MedPride would also like to acknowledge the incredible contributions of the Black transgender women at Stonewall, without whom, Pride would not exist!
