Outline of proposed changes
Click on the edit button to draft your outline. With my article addition, "Belafonte and the Kennedy administration," I hope to include more information about Harry Belafonte's political relationship with John. F Kennedy. On Belafonte's current Wikipedia page, the only mention of his interactions with Kennedy is his appearance in a 1960 campaign commercial--which is not the full extent of their relations. The content of this article will include background information about Belafonte's friendship with Martin Luther King Jr., which will lead to a discussion between Belafonte and Kennedy about the future of Civil Rights in America and who should lead this movement. I also plan to write about the 1963 Baldwin-Kennedy Summit, in which Belafonte took part, and how this meeting changed African American's perceptions of the Democratic party. Utilizing all the sources from above, I hope to elevate Harry Belafonte's legacy not only as an entertainment icon but as a political and civil rights tycoon, who was both vocal and pivotal in shifting American social ideologies in the U.S. during one of its most racially divided eras.
