Ed was reading a list of "un-American" things that Belafonte was being accused of and wanted Harry's response] I said to him that many of the things on the list were true and other things on the list were false. But i do not choose to identify which is true and which is false, because that is not really the issue. The issue is my right to privacy, my right to my beliefs as an American citizen. And that i was sorry that i did not have the opportunity to appear on his show. I would have dearly loved to do so, it would have meant a lot to my career and i thanked him and left... .
[Belafonte would eventually get booked multiple times on the Ed Sullivan Show]
