Belafonte Receives Marian Anderson Award in Philadelphia
Entertainer Harry Belafonte led a chorus after Mayor Rendell presented the Marian Anderson Award for humanitarian efforts. Belafonte, 71, has long been a civil rights advocate with UNICEF roles and World Summit hosting. The ceremony honored Anderson, a Philadelphia native who faced adversity at Constitution Hall in 1939 and became a landmark opera and White House performer. The piece also references Sinatra’s charity acts and Grateful Dead connections, alongside Gregory Peck's Barter Theatre return and a wealth of Barter alumni.
