Famine In Ethiopia: Barack Obama

Nelson Mandela Dept: political event in history: Turns out Harry Belafonte was the real Zelig of the 20th century, according to Vancouver Sun. Indirectly, Belafonte could take credit for the first African-American president of the United States, but as a new movie about the icon makes abundantly clear, Belafonte is far too humble -- and way too classy -- to hog the limelight. Case in point: He had to be convinced by his daughter Gina to participate in Sing Your Song, the new Susanne Rostock documentary that opened at this year's Sundance Film Festival and is already an apparent crowd favourite and forget all about Woody Allen's comedy about a man who popped up at every pivotal The actor-singer was in Montgomery, Ala., to greet Martin Luther King and the masses who marched from Selma, Ala. He was the first to witness the famine in Ethiopia and mobilize the entertainment industry into taking action, resulting in the song We Are the World. He made the world aware of apartheid and helped to free Nelson Mandela, and in a bold move to educate a handful of bright Kenyans, he paved the way for African students to receive an American education. One of those students was Barack Obama Sr. As reported in the news.
