Belafonte pleads for help at Toronto charity luncheon
Harry Belafonte urged Canadians to aid civil rights in the US at a Toronto charity luncheon. Local leaders raised 8000 dollars for the Martin Luther King fund, bringing Toronto’s total to 14000, as Belafonte warned violence could follow if King or his movement are rejected. He called King a potential Medgar Evers and urged nonviolence as a path to freedom.
