In 2013, legendary actor, entertainer and humanitarian Harry Belafonte launched Sankofa to create a social impact and entertainment enterprise that could leverage the creativity, support, and donations of influential artists, thought leaders, and grassroots leaders to work collaboratively in speaking out on today's most pressing social justice issues.
Sankofa has galvanized vast audiences around racial, environmental and economic justice causes - from a collaboration with multi-Grammy award-winning artist Usher on his riveting "Chains" music video to a partnership with Blackout for Human Rights on the groundbreaking "Justice For Flint" fundraising concert.
