Brando note




Brando as activist: He fought for an independent Jewish state in the 1940s, and was at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (at which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech). In the 1970s he switched his focus to the rights and treatment of Native Americans, and wanted to object to the actions of the United States Army with regards to the massacre of 300 unarmed Dakota Sioux in 1890.
