Harry Belafonte (PM)
May 2, 2023 @ 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
This has become one of my favorite new programs. And it is undoubtedly one of the most surprising programs I have ever researched!
When I began my research, I thought I would talk about a popular entertainer from the 1950s who introduced calypso music to America.
As I dug deeper, I quickly realized that Harry Belafonte was one of the civil rights movement’s most important and influential leaders. In early 1968, Johnny Carson turned over the Tonight Show to Harry Belafonte for an entire week! The “sit-in,” as it was called, featured Belafonte interviewing guests, including Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King!
You’ll find out that Harry Belafonte was one of Martin Luther King’s closest friends and most trusted advisers, deeply involved in the civil rights movement at every turn.
So whether you prefer my “straight history” presentations or my popular culture presentations, this one is for you!
This makes for a unique multimedia presentation.
We will watch fabulous clips
of Harry Belafonte performing spectacular calypso numbers – and we will also hear him criticize Barack Obama for not doing enough to help African-Americans!
I urge you to sign up for this program. There is no other entertainer or activist who combines the unique characteristics, charismatic personality, and thoughtful philosophy of Harry Belafonte!
COST
I ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or feel my programs are not worth $5.00, you are invited to come for free; I am struggling but supporting a family, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget!
