in the entertainment
world, the article declared:
“He does not pretend or as-|
pire to be a ‘leader’ of his peo-
pie, but their concerns are his,
because he knows their troubles
firsthand. When Belafonte
sings the songs of their history,
and their hopes, his eyes closed
and his arms outflung, what
the audience is watching is not
a well-rehearsed performer, but
a proud and thoughtful Negro
who knows what he is singing
about.”
