{"value"=>"<p>The Clippings subseries covers Belafonte's professional life from 1946 to 2013, with emphasis on the 1980s forward. These clippings complement the scrapbooks in Subseries III.A., and primarily document Belafonte's music tours, acting roles, and political and activism activities. Clippings that were originally grouped by topic are kept as such. The rest of the clippings are arranged chronologically by date.</p> <p>Like the scrapbooks, clippings in this subseries are mostly in the form of news articles, reviews, and profiles. Advertisements and announcements are also included, as well as occasional press kits. Many clippings have annotations and underlining, while some contain accompanying letters and related documents.</p> <p>Belafonte's music tours are especially well-represented here. His eight-month 1981 tour, which included dates in the United States, Australia, and numerous European cities, is extensively documented by reviews. Clippings for the 1977, 1979, 1983, 1988, 1989, and 1998 tours are also present.</p> <p>Elsewhere, there are articles about films Belafonte acted in, namely <span class=\"title\">Grambling's White Tiger</span> (1981), <span class=\"title\">White Man's Burden</span> (1995), and <span class=\"title\">Kansas City</span> (1996). Speaking engagements, awards ceremonies, parties, and other events Belafonte attended are covered as well.</p> <p>Belafonte's political and activism activities from the 1980s through the 2000s, such as his involvement in Cuba, South Africa, Senegal, Rwanda, and Kenya, are chronicled by clippings. Additionally, there are sets of clippings for two rallies promoting nuclear disarmament in which Belafonte participated.</p> <p>Throughout his life, Belafonte has been heavily covered by the German press. Accordingly, a large number of clippings, specifically those for his 1981 tour and <span class=\"title\">My Song</span>, are in German. There are additional clippings in Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and Dutch. Foreign language clippings usually relate to music tours in the associated country.</p>"}
