Thomas Allen Harris‘ new film, “Marriage Equality: Byron Rushing and the Fight for Fairness.” Harris’ short documentary connects the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-20th Century with the same-sex marriage equality movement of today through the story of Massachusetts State Rep. Byron Rushing, a veteran Civil Rights organizer. Rushing in coalition with communities of color throughout Massachusetts challenged religious and political opponents to define marriage as a ‘human right.’
“Marriage Equality: Byron Rushing and the Fight for Fairness” will screen at the 2011 Film Festival on Friday, July 22 – 5:00 pm | Cinema Village 2
