In a renewed push, President Obama is being urged to grant clemency to the legendary Native American activist Leonard Peltier who has spent 37 years in prison. On Friday, singers Harry Belafonte and Pete Seeger will host a "Bring Leonard Peltier Home In 2012 Concert" at the Beacon Theater in New York City to raise awareness of Peltier's 37-year ordeal and plea for executive clemency from Obama. We're joined by the acclaimed actor and narrator Peter Coyote, a long-time friend and advocate of Peltier. Coyote is a politically engaged actor and writer as well as an ordained Zen Buddhist priest. He recently narrated the recent Ken Burns mini-series, "The Dust Bowl."
