Such important figures in the entertainment industry, and I'm not saying that to be snarky. Black stars of today owe them a world of debt for the trails they blazed.

I knew I'd get that, R3, but I actually meant it with respect!

I admire both of these wonderful MEN.

Was Heston there to tell everyone to "stop this nonsense and go home"?

Belafonte was a looker wasn't he? Stalwart supporter of civil rights, he kept MLK Jr campaigns funded.

They're both so handsome in OP's picture. I miss seeing them on the screen. 1927 was some year. First Leontyne Price, then followed by these two great men.

I've always like him and his acting. He's a class act. Hope you're well, Mr. Poitier. Happy Birthday!
