Forging connections with an astonishing array of consequential players on the American scene in the decades following World War II -- from Paul Robeson to Ed Sullivan, John Kennedy to Stokely Carmichael -- Belafonte established his place in American culture as a hugely popular singer, matinee idol, internationalist, and champion of civil rights, black pride, and black power. --Publisher's description.Discovering America series.African American civil rights workersBiographyMusicians, BlackUnited StatesBiographyActors, BlackUnited StatesBiographyAfrican American civil rights workersMusicians, BlackActors, Black782.42164092Smith Judith E.1948-1505741MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787177403321Becoming Belafonte3735550UNINA
