"Get Down to Business": Harry Belafonte in 2016 on Trump, Socialism & Fighting for Justice

We continue our Juneteenth special with more from Harry Belafonte, the legendary actor, singer and civil rights activist, who died in April at the age of 96. Belafonte last appeared on Democracy Now! in 2016 at a special event at the historic Riverside Church in New York to celebrate Democracy Now!'s 20th anniversary. He co-headlined the event with Noam Chomsky. It was the first time they had done a public event together. Belafonte spoke about Donald Trump, who had just been elected president, and ongoing struggles for freedom and justice in the United States. We just have to get out our old coats, dust them off, stop screwing around and just chasing the good times, and get down to business," he said. There's some ass-kicking out here to be done. And we should do it."
