Wow!!! I am blown away, listening to this interview. I’ve always respected and loved his movies, but I never knew his view on civil rights.. Thank you Mr. Burt Lancaster!!❤
Racial harmony love thy neighbour Covers the issue Equality isn't the issue Obviously some people are greater Even jesus himself said someone Greater ie(the father) Also someone greater than jonah or Solomon speaking of himself! Greater is he in you Than he who is in the world!
Burt was not a major organizer of Hollywood participation in this march, Republican Charlton Hesston led the effort to get people from show business there. And let's not forget that the major civil rights legislation that Eisenhower proposed and pushed, was passed in 1957, was actively fought against by almost the entire Democrat leadership -- and none of those Democrat leaders was ever canceled. In fact if you go to DV and visit your senator in the Russel Senate office building, it was and is named for a major Dem opponent of civil rights.
The key word is WAS. Those Democrats turned and jumped the fence over to the Republican party. And they are the ones who created the atmosphere for the r@cist, dysfunctional and destructive GOP the U.S. is unfortunately enduring today. Their offspring were the tea party and now the shameful and toxic MAGA cultists who consist chiefly of Supremacist hate groups and your everyday conservative voter who claims to be a patriot.
