RIP HARRY BELAFONTE
Although I did not always agree with his politics and opinions, I never felt the need to silence the Superstar, who brought us joy.
The best-known Jamaican-American musician, actor, and human rights activist Belafonte joined the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s. He reportedly became one of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s closest confidants. Over the years he organized demonstrations, raised money, and contributed his personal funds to keep movement activities going.
