The legendary Harry Belafonte to receive the Trayvon Martin Foundation"2016 Champion of the Year Award" 

Always outspoken, Belafonte found inspiration for his activism from such figures as singer Paul Robeson; writer and activist W. E. B. Du Bois; and civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. In the 1950s, Belafonte met civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. The pair became good friends, and Belafonte emerged as a strong voice for the civil rights movement. Belafonte was with King when the civil rights leader gave his famous "I Have A Dream" speech in Washington, D.C., and visited with him days before King was assassinated in 1968.

Harry Belafonte is a part of history that changed the world.

The Trayvon Martin Remembrance Dinner will be held Saturday February 6th 2016 at the Double Tree By Hilton Miami Airport. Auction & Reception starts at 6:30pm. Dinner 7:30pm
