Beyonce Responds to Harry Belafonte Barbs


Last week actor/activist Harry Belafonte blasted pop stars Beyonce and Jay Z for turning their backs on their social responsibility [click here if you missed that].

Beyonce fires back with a list of her accomplishments...


From The Wall Street Journal
In response to Belafonte’s words, Beyonce’s representative emailed what she called “An abbreviated list of the unselfish work BeyoncĂ© has done and continues to do.” The list included co-founding The Survivor Foundation “a multi-purpose community outreach facility in downtown Houston”; donating “100K in 2008 to the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund to aid Texas victims of Hurricane Ike”; performing in “MTV’s Hope For Haiti Now! Benefit in addition to making a generous monetary donation,” among many other charitable activities.
