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.
Harry Belafonte spent his childhood in both Harlem and Jamaica,
where the toughness of the city and the resilient spirit of the
Caribbean lifestyle instilled in him a tenacity to face the hurdles
of life head-on and channel his anger into positive, life-affirming
actions. He returned to New York City after serving in the Navy in
World War II, and found his calling in the theater, before
transitioning into a career as a singer and Hollywood leading man.
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. "My Song" tells the inspiring story of
a startlingly original and powerful entertainer who has always
engaged fiercely with the issues of his day.
