One of the producing partners for this movie is Higher Ground Productions, the banner under which former president Barack and former first lady Michelle Obama have produced several Netflix projects. While Obama was president of the United States, he posthumously awarded Bayard Rustin the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. At the November 20, 2013, White House ceremony, President Obama presented Rustin's award to Walter Naegle, Rustin's surviving longtime romantic partner.
Screenwriter Julian Breece penned the screenplay in 2015 for HBO Films with Lee Daniels originally attached to direct. Breece researched the project for two years, conducting over fifteen hours of interviews with Rustin's friends and colleagues from the Civil Rights Movement. Michelle and Barack Obama's Higher Ground Productions picked up the project in 2019, making it the first feature film under their Netflix deal.
Bayard Rustin was a member of the Board of Trustees at the prodemocracy and human rights organization Freedom House. One of the marchers in the March on Washington is played by Elizabeth Rosen, who works at Freedom House today.
Jeffrey Wright has a role in this movie. He also appeared in 2001's Boycott, in which he played Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Bayard Rustin was also depicted in that movie, played by Erik Todd Dellums.
Colman Domingo and Glynn Truman previously starred in the George C. Wolfe film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020).
