    Legendary entertainer Harry Belafonte has died at age 96.

    Singer, actor, and civil rights activist — as the “King of Calypso,” Belafonte had an extraordinary life. I implore you to watch The Sit-In: Harry Belafonte Hosts The Tonight Show, a great documentary that covers his revolutionary week-long stint replacing Johnny Carson in 1968 where he featured Black guests in an era of segregated TV, including one of Martin Luther King Jr.’s last TV appearances.
