I too have an opinion expressed herein.

Brando was a pure humanist [i.e HUMAN BEING] ... Adding HUMANITARIAN to better understand him!

He had room for out whole communual universe to share

Stellar Black Pioneering Actress Madam DIAHANN CARROLL; SEE BELOW P. Writes in her excellent autobiography of what great friends she and Brando were. With an amusing story manifesting Brando's essence: How he escorted her to a big time A-Lister Hollywood House and laid back - at the party - to observe how the great Humphrey Bogart and others would react to her. She recited nothing extraordinary having occurred.

Further, it wasn't the "color rarrier" that kept their two bodies apart from between those hot bedroom sheets. It was true friendship!

Brando, supported the black civil rights movement. He was at the 1963 Famous march on Washington. Additionally, he asked for and played a role [i.e. neo-Nazi Racist] in the ABCTV spectular "Roots" serial.

Renowned Author, Director Painter and Photographer, Gordon Parks wrote in his wonderful book that when in 1968 Dr. MLK Jr. was assassinated, he was at Brando's home. Brando grabbed a rifle shouting rushed to the door. Let's go the revolution is on.

Moreover, Grand Music Promoter Bill Graham Biography: "Presenting Bill Graham", tells the story - an amusing one: of Brando giving a rallying speech to a huge protest crowd. He stumbles off the stage, a little shook, and said :That was real [not acting!]
