John Wayne was a major American motion-picture actor who embodied the image of the strong, taciturn cowboy or soldier and who in many ways personified the idealized American values of his era. Sadly since is passing his long held opinions of supporting white supremacy, fierce supporter of the McCarthy witch hunts of the 1950s, his stand against civil rights and his denying African-Americans and native American Indians their heritage has been, to say the least, disconcerting.
