Yesterday the world lost one of its greatest talents.
God took the legend Harry Belafonte.
Millions of people around the world mourn the great star of our time.
„This man was truly one of my role models…. Intelligence, class, grace, activist – Hero! I just want to say that I’m humbled by how you used your light to help brighten a path for us all. Your soul has returned to the creator but what you’ve left on earth will live with us forever. Thank you and thank you again.
Harry Belafonte,“ wrote actor and producer Tyler Perry.

Under his post there are thousands of comments of sadness:

His legacy is one we ALL benefited from.
That is true life goals, accomplished.
Thank you Mr. Belafonte, commented under his post Tyrone Smith.

I just want to say thank you Mr Belafonte for all you have done for me! You were on the front lines when times were tough and you were always a gentleman, someone for young men to aspire to. Rest from your journey here…rest in peace!

Leading by example may seem burdensome by some, however there are great men and women who leading by example is woven in every fabric of their being.. you are also one of those people Tyler.. none of us are perfect but I am extremely happy that I get to see greatness in our people and even though another great soul has moved on.. we are comforted by the ones who are here and will always be here. Rest in Peace Harry and thank you for Sharing Tyler

Harry Belafonte was born in 1927 in New York.

Known as a singer and actor, he is a fighter for the civil rights of African Americans in America. He began his career as a singer in nightclubs in New York, taking acting classes in the meantime. He recorded many records of music in the calypso style characteristic of the Caribbean islands. His album „Calypso“ (1956) held the top spot on the Billboard 200 for 31 weeks and was the first in history to sell over a million copies. He has participated in musical films.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the legendary musician, who paved the way for blacks in show business, appeared as a merciless critic of George Walker Bush and his advisers. During Belafonte and Danny Glover’s meeting with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (2006) He is a member of the Democratic Party, Belafonte calls George W. Bush „the world’s greatest terrorist“

Oprah Winfrey is one of the most successful and wealthy women in the US and the world.
At 69, she is a symbol of success – the embodiment of success itself.
This is not accidental.
Another beloved actor, Tyler Perry, accidentally came across footage from Oprah’s youth.
Hardly many remember her in this light in the 1980s.
Then she anchored a news show in Baltimore.
Oprah reads the news about court cases, which is a far cry from her image today.
The footage moved Tyler Perry so much that he decided to send it to Oprah.
Here is what Tyler wrote:

I happened to see this this morning… sent it to Oprah and called her. I asked, „Did you KNOW when you were sitting there in your 20s?“

Oprah’s response is great: She said, „I didn’t know the future, but I knew who held the future, and I knew that where I was, I wasn’t going to stay.“

Tyler commented: We both had a wonderful moment of gratitude to God.

For all those who know there is something bigger waiting for you — don’t be afraid to take the next step. Sometimes it’s scary and hard, but it’s a beautiful journey. Do me a favor, if you will, find someone to encourage you to keep dreaming today. You could be the spark they need. Blessings.

Comments rain down under the video:

Thank you Tyler for your words. I needed to hear the wisdom of your words. Was feeling lost over which road to take now.

Thank you! Needed That Tyler b/c The Wilderness seems like Forever

Awesome I will always remember this I have faith in my God

I know that there is something Greater coming for me! I also know that there is someone that is inside of me that deserves to be listened to! Both of you encourage my soul! I remember going to the NAACP awards. Praying to get a glimpse of you too. Lol, you didn’t make it that year. Nevertheless, I felt blessed just sitting there and seeing people who look like me on stage winning awards. I love you all, God bless you all always! Please don’t forget!
Hinds Feet On High Places! I seem to be living inside of that storybook

You are a inspiration I praise God that there are people like you in the world if you don’t read this I still respect and support your work you have have encouraged me with my work with adults with autism we are small but grateful
Blessings
