NEW YORK (AP) — Harry Belafonte made history in early 1968. But it was lost to history.

Then something even more special happened: Belafonte took over. For five nights, the Black singer, actor and activist entertained middle America with an astonishing array of guests, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Sidney Poitier and Robert Kennedy among them. That fascinating week of late night is the subject of the new Peacock documentary “The Sit-In.”
