I also learned of the horrors of racism from The Lone Ranger. No one could be more indignant that I when Tonto was treated badly by some ignorant fool. I saw that the Lone Ranger didn’t boss Tonto around but respected him, asked his opinions and that Tonto made major and important decisions.
It ranks as one of my all-time favorite show.
Having met Jay Silverheels at a party in the late fifties(Miami). The time I spent with him he was a very pleasent,”gentile” and very nice person. I would liked to have spent more time with him.
