Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: Five Black Celebrity Survivors and Their Stories

Harry Belafonte‘s success as a singer, actor, and songwriter meant everything to him until he received the life-altering news. Fortunately, Belafonte is now a survivor and works to inform other men about the issue. In 1996, at the age of 69, he was faced with the news that he had the disease. After his surgery, he became an even bigger activist for the cause and is passionate about speaking on the subject. He has helped raise more than $2 million in support of finding a cure.
