    Harry Belefonte has had a social consciousness ever since the 1950's. He is a towering giant compared to the Black celebrities of today, who have nothing to say, or nothing to stand for. Thank you for truly using your bully pulpit to speak for those with no voice.

    There could not have been a better portrait painted on the art form known as movies. Equally there isn't a better person to paint that portrait then the legendary Harry Belafonte. Excelsior!

    Amazing, brilliant speech.  This man is a true humanitarian, he seeks justice for all, his life is an example for us all.  See the documentary about him "Sing Your Song" to get a sense of him.
