Harry Belafonte & Dorothy Dandridge in Carmen Jones
Gutted

I think maybe sometimes we expect our lights,
our icons, to always be with us
The last film appearance I remember Mr.
Belafonte making was in BlacKKKlansman, with John David Washington, Adam Driver,
and Laura Harrier, directed by Spike Lee
BlacKKKlansman - Harry Belafonte Explains “Birth of a Nation”
Joan Walsh and Joy Reid produced a short
piece for MSNBC illustrating Mr. Belafonte’s presence and impact and rights embodiment
centering around the event of his guest hosting of Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show
– the lead-up, the period of the event itself, the aftermath, how people
experienced it. Because we won’t get
past the struggle of white supremacist pushback until all U.S. citizens have
full citizen’s rights, all still timely and not just for the pure art.
Each worth a half hour of your time when you
can find it, with stunning photography
