Watch 📺 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Harry Belafonte shared more than just friendship—they shared a deep, unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human dignity. In his own words, Belafonte talks about the unique friendship with Dr. King.Â
While MLK led the charge in the Civil Rights Movement, Belafonte used his fame and resources to amplify the cause. As a close confidant, Belafonte was often by King’s side, not only offering moral support but also helping to fund protests, marches, and the movement’s legal battles.
