Rx For Resilience: Bold
Last week, the world lost Harry Belafonte at the age of 96. His pivotal album Calypso, was released in 1956. This record was the very first by a solo performer to sell a million copies, holding the top spot on “Billboard’s” pop album charts for an unprecedented 31 weeks (in addition, 58 weeks in the top ten, 99 weeks among the top 100). Belafonte was born in the Harlem district of New York City to immigrant parents from the Caribbean Islands of Martinique and Jamaica. He is one of a small group of people ever to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT). The talent and impact of this man is vast.
Mr. Belafonte was also a formidable civil rights leader. In the last decade, he took a hard look at philanthropy and exposed many fissures in the facade of power, wealth, and financial disbursement to non-profits. The New York Times columnist, Charles Blow, wrote The Harry Belafonte Speech That Changed My Life about Belafonte’s bold and apologetically direct feedback to traditional funders.
As Blow summarized, Belafonte called on young people to be bold and “radical” in their thinking and brave in their “doings.” In his last phase of life, he spent most of his time “encouraging young people to be more rebellious, to be more angry, to be more aggressive in making those who are comfortable with our oppression uncomfortable.”
After spending a few days last week with the Youth Summit at the Cities Summit of the Americas, we can honestly say that Belafonte would be proud of these bold young leaders, their ideas, and most importantly, their action plans to address climate issues, social injustice and equity across populations. They are tough, scrappy, and determined, and there is no problem in the world that they can’t figure out. This is the greatest tribute to anyone, especially the bold and beloved Harry Belafonte.
