His work on "civil rights" would have been enough - His talents in other areas made his even more unfortunate ...

As detailed in his memoir

It's rather a shame that we'll probably never see a Blu-ray release of Uptown Saturday Night now that Bill Cosby is persona non grata. Belafonte was terrific in it.

R.I.P. Mr. Belafonte - A great entertainer and an even better human being.

Just saw Altman’s Kansas City. Belafonte was terrific!

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

A giant in music, film, television, and civil rights. The world is a little less without him in it, but so much richer for having had him in it.

Paul Robeson and Harry Belafonte. They go hand in hand as two giants in the arts and in the fight for civil rights. Great human beings who have left us with an example hard to follow.
RIP, sir, you'll be sorely missed.

 

[John Dirk]

A life well-lived. No sadness here for me, just extreme respect and admiration.

R.I.P - You've more than earned it.

RIP HB. Sad news, but it's great that he lived a long life.

Though I'm not that familiar with many of his films, my favorite role of his is definitely in the aforementioned The World, the Flesh, and the Devil (1959). Excellent post-apocalyptic drama that isn't discussed much these days:
