Things I learned this month about two people I admired for a spell:
Gloria Steinem was paid by the CIA for at least ten years and served to displace a more grass-roots, radical, and intersectional women's movement:

Sacheen Littlefeather wasn't Apache and was just a wannabe Hollywood starlet looking for attention:

#art/#history: i offer this paltry token in memoriam of the incredible human being, sacheen littlefeather, who spent her life as an activist. she knew what she was doing when she declined brando's oscar. her subsequent blacklisting would only amplify awareness of the struggle at wounded knee - & of the american indian movement. the occupation of alcatraz galvanised young sacheen's desire to get involved with native american activism. she went on to found american indian AIDS institute of san francisco. sacheen died a respected apache & yaqui elder.
