I’m heartbroken at hearing of the death of Harry Belafonte, a true mentor & friend. I cherished the time he would give me & others to guide us & correct us. He was a history changing activist, a culture changing entertainer, & an unmatched intellectual. RIP & Power, Mr. B✊🏾❤️🕊️
It is with great sadness our museum mourns the passing of actor, singer, producer, civil-rights activist and humanitarian, Harry Belafonte Jr.

This is one of my favorite pictures with @POTUS taken at the end of a very LONG day. We’d done a turnaround trip from DC to AZ. By 10pm I was beyond exhausted and he was as fresh and energetic as he was at 8 am that morning. He hugged me and told me to go home and get some rest.
RIP to arguably the most courageous and consequential activist artist of the 20th, a man who used his personal resources to help sustain the Black Freedom movement, a man about whom I wrote, and one of the most beautiful and humorous souls I had the privilege to call my friend!❤️
Thank you, Mr. B, for all of your years of mentorship, guidance, & lifetime of activism fighting for a better future for all of us. You will be missed by many, but your memory & impact live on. Rest in Power.
“Movements don't die, because struggle doesn't die.”
-Harry Belafonte
Harry Belafonte was a barrier-breaking legend who used his platform to lift others up. He lived a good life – transforming the arts while also standing up for civil rights. And he did it all with his signature smile and style. Michelle and I send our love to his wife, kids, and fans.
When I was a child, #HarryBelafonte showed up for my family in very compassionate ways.
In fact, he paid for the babysitter for me and my siblings.
Here he is mourning with my mother at the funeral service for my father at Morehouse College.
I won’t forget…Rest well, sir.
Proud of my home state – this will save so many lives!
It’s past time we reinstate the national assault weapons ban and protect communities across the US.
