nition as a humanitarian.
J "\A/o
It was Harry Belafonte who set the wheels in motion that led to We
Are The W orld" on January 28, 1985. The veteran performer, humanitarian
and social activist originally suggested a benefit concert to aid Afr,ca ® s^ ’
fering millions but after contacting and discussing it with personal manager
Ken Kragen, the two decided a bigger idea was needed to raise as much
money as possible. It was Kragen, in response to the call from Belafonte
who undertook the responsibility of assembling the 45 artists who recorded
"We Are The W orld," but it was Harry Belafonte's spirit of love for all man
kind that put the project on track so that it could happen. Today he is Vice
President and spokesman for USA for Africa.
.
An outgrowth of the USA for Africa effort for the people of Africa was
a benefit for hungry Americans, "Hands Across America." Belafonte
played a large role in the organization of this event.
Manrt«la'« t-
He is currently producing a television mini-series, The Mandela s
a South African Saga" for ABC. The stars for this important television
event include Sidney Poitier, Jane Fonda and Marlon Brando.
