Harry belafonte: a little golden book biography (presented by ebony jr.) - lavaille lavette

Created in partnership with Ebony Jr.

, this Little Golden Book biography celebrates the life and legacy of singer, performer, and activist Harry Belafonte.

When Harry Belafonte was a little boy, he moved from Harlem, New York, to live with his grandmother in Jamaica.

There, Harry fell in love with Calypso music.

It was the seed that blossomed into a life dedicated to inspiring people through music.

This moving biography chronicles his life and career--as an actor, a singer, and a civil rights activist who has always sought to make a difference while encouraging people to treat each other with respect and kindness.

Since 1945, Ebony magazine has shined a spotlight on the worlds of Black people in America and worldwide, telling their stories.

Ebony Jr! was created in 1973 to give Black children a magazine that was all their own.

The magazine included stories, comics, puzzles, and cartoons centering Black children.

Its mission was to ignite a love of reading and a love of self in Black kids, and were continuing that with our branded LGB program.
