On today’s show, we listen in on a conversation with civil rights and singing icon Harry Belafonte in a wide ranging conversation with the founder of Marcus Books, Dr. Raye Richardson, at a KPFA event at the First Congregational Church of Berkeley in 2011.
FUND DRIVE SPECIAL – Pledge $100 and receive a copy of My Song: A Memoir of Art, Race, and Defiance by Harry Belafonte – An eloquently told personal account of an era of enormous cultural and political change, which reveals Harry Belafonte as not only one of America’s greatest entertainers, but also one of our most profoundly influential activists. During the 1960s civil rights movement, Belafonte became close friends with Martin Luther King, Jr., and used his celebrity as a platform for his activism in civil rights and countless other political and social causes.
