human rights leader

Harry Belafonte, the son of West Indian immigrants who scaled artistic heights on concert stages and movie screens but was most devoted to human and civil rights advocacy, died last week at the age of 96 in his New York apartment.

We lost much on April 25, 2023. Harry Belafonte was more than a world-class performer, winning multiple music awards. He was also a world-class human being like few others right from the start.
