Harry Belafonte last appeared on _Democracy Now!_ in 2016 at a special event at the historic Riverside Church in New York to celebrate our 20th anniversary. He co-headlined the event with Noam Chomsky in their first public appearance together. Belafonte spoke about Donald Trump, who had just been elected president, and ongoing struggles for freedom and justice in the United States. "We just have to get out our old coats, dust them off, stop screwing around and just chasing the good times, and get down to business," he said. "There’s some ass-kicking out here to be done. And we should do it."
