Harry Belafonte passed away today at his home in Manhattan. The cause was congestive heart failure, he was 96 years old 😢

Harry was born to Jamaican immigrants, grew up in poverty in Depression-era Harlem and became a major Black crossover success in popular music. He went on to smash a series of barriers during five decades as a movie, TV and stage star 👍

His artistic and humanitarian work frequently overlapped, reflecting his belief that “the role of art isn’t just to show life as it is but to show life as it should be.”

Rest in Power 🙏
