SEE The WHITE MAN Who Destroyed RACISM For One Night | HE PAID A BLACK WOMAN TO RECEIVE HIS GRAMMY AWARD
Jul 16, 2020
Marlon Brando born April 3, 1924, was an American actor and film director with a career spanning 60 years, during which he won the Oscar for Best Actor twice.
He is well-regarded for his cultural influence on the 20th-century film. Brando was also an activist for many causes, notably the civil rights movement and various Native American movements.
In 1972 he won his second (and last!) Oscar for The Godfather.
Brando wasn’t impressed with Hollywood in the slightest he felt they peddled stereotypes for-profit and contributed to racism through the way in which they belittled, among others, Native Americans. So Brando decided to not pick up his Oscar, and instead sent a young Native American girl called Sacheen Littlefeather to the stage.
Sacheen gave a speech Brando wrote for her, denouncing Hollywood’s racism and asking for people’s attention to the protests going on at Wounded Knee at that same time. However, she was booed and failed to deliver the speech. 
John Wayne, a notorious bigot who became famous for shooting Natives on the silver screen, reportedly had to be physically restrained by his friends from running on stage and dragging the girl off, as Brando just sat there, smirking.
Marlon Brando sat still giving a smirking look and didn't care about what people thought.
