Comments....

I have always loved Harry Belefonte, from his early songs, which opened up a

new world. As an educated (by living on this earth) person. All respect to another human being.

I am not black or brown, but I believe we are all connected. Any injustice to any is an justice

to all of us. All my respect to a wonderful human being.

My full respect for this Civil rights mover and Shaker. .

Continue prayers for his family. What a beautiful mind! Orator and spirit 

Wow never realized how much Mr. Belafonte played a part in civil rights.

I hope that before I leave this earth I can make a difference the way this great diplomatic gentleman has.
