{"value"=>"<p>Belafonte retained many of the programs from his acting, music performances, and public appearances. The programs in Subseries III.C., dating from 1946 to 2013, are arranged chronologically within the topics of Theatre; Music; Film and Television; Speaking Engagements; Awards; and Memorials.</p> <p>The Theatre programs cover much of Belafonte's early acting career, including a 1940s American Negro Theatre performance of <span class=\"title\">On Strivers Row</span>, a 1947 improv performance by the Dramatic Workshop of the New School for the March of Drama Repertory, four different programs from 1953 and 1954 performances of <span class=\"title\">Almanac</span>, and 1955 programs from New York City and Los Angeles productions of <span class=\"title\">3 for Tonight</span>. There is also a program that includes complete lyrics for a 1956 production of <span class=\"title\">Sing, Man, Sing</span>. Also of note is the 1998 program from <span class=\"title\">Paul Robeson: Ol' Man River</span>, a performance that was co-produced by Belafonte.</p> <p>The Music programs cover Belafonte's tours and live performances from 1957 to 1998. Most of the programs are not specific to a performance, but instead include content for a full tour or album cycle. The programs often include photographs, a biography of Belafonte, and credits for the band members and production staff. Some programs also include lyrics and set lists. Programs from 1998 to 2004 are generally for a single performance at a specific venue, and the programs tend to be produced by the venue. The only exception is the program for the \"An Evening with Harry Belafonte\" 2003 European tour, which includes dates for the full tour, and is in the format of the earlier tour programs.</p> <p>The Film and Television programs are much more limited in scope. The only programs present are for 1974's <span class=\"title\">Uptown Saturday Night</span>, the 1989 National Black Theatre Festival, and the Belafonte documentary <span class=\"title\">Sing Your Song</span>. The <span class=\"title\">Sing Your Song</span> files, which date from 2011 to 2012, include programs from the Montclair Film Festival, Vienna International Film Festival, and CaribbeanTales.</p> <p>The programs from Belafonte's speaking engagements date from the 1980s to 2013, and chronicle a variety of events in which Belafonte was an invited speaker or host. This includes the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award: A Salute to Sidney Poitier, an event Belafonte hosted in 1992; the UNICEF 50th Anniversary Gala Honoring Nana Mouskouri (1997); The National Launch of the History Makers in Chicago, which Belafonte co-hosted with Danny Glover in 2000; the NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet (2001); and Harry Belafonte and Cornel West in Conversation in 2005.</p> <p>The subseries also contains programs from events in which Belafonte received an honorary degree, award, or recognition for a career accomplishment. Most are from the 1990s and 2000s, and are from such as events as The Center For Cuban Studies: Carlotta Award (1987); the Thurgood Marshall Lifetime Achievement Award honoring Belafonte and Sidney Poitier (1993); New York Film Critics Circle Awards (1997); the ASCAP/Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award (2000); Henry Grunwald Award for Public Service (2002); and the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation: Evening for Peace (2003). There is also an assortment of commencement programs from institutions that awarded Belafonte an honorary degree including Tufts University, Bard College, University of the West Indies, University of Massachusetts, Brooklyn College, Spelman College, and Howard University.</p>"}
