Marlon Brando, Himself:
He was in Memphis at the time. He was striking for a small wage increase for garbage collectors. It was one of the best jobs a black man could get. That speech, when he says, "I've been up to the mountain and I've seen the promised land. I don't know if I'm gonna get there with you. But, I'm not afraid tonight." Oh! God, I still remember that! Aw, Jesus, that's terrible. He knew he was gonna be killed
