Belafonte - "Where are (our) leaders? What's missing is that rage." It was both a walk down memory lane and a call to action when singer, actor, civil rights activist and international humanitarian Harry Belafonte spoke at St. Sabina Church. Part of a Black History Month program that also brought Princeton Professor Cornel West to the South Side church on Sunday, Belafonte, espousing incendiary views on racism and capitalism for six decades, did not hold back during his presentation Friday night. |

An America that is as intent on destroying young Black men as it is at proclaiming its passion for freedom and fairness.
