From New York, this is Democracy Now.

Paul Rosen, who was a mentor.

An anthropomer had enormous love and admiration.

It was the supreme example for me of how to use your life with dignity and with courage,

not bravado of genuine social courage, to put all that's on the line to cover up against

the forces of oppression.

The legendary actor, singer and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte has died at the age

of 96.

We'll look at his remarkable life, including his pivotal role supporting Martin Luther

King Jr. in the civil rights movement.

He was also a fierce critic of US foreign policy, including the invasion of Iraq.

You know, literally walked into a country that had no threat to this country and we invaded

it.

That's against the Constitution.

You call President Bush a terrorist.

I call President Bush a terrorist.

I call those around him a terrorist as well.

Condoleez Arise, Rumsfeld, Gonzales in the Justice Department and certainly a chain-in.

Today we'll hear Harry Belafonte in his own words from his many appearances on Democracy

Now.

All that and more coming up.

Welcome to Democracy Now.
