Rita Moreno's first foray into social justice was sitting in on the March on Washington with Martin Luther King, Jr. "I was there when he uttered the 'I Have a Dream' speech," she said. She continued to be a conscious activist throughout her career, fighting for Latine and women's rights. The post How Rita Moreno became a social activist appeared first on American Masters.
