6:40Now PlayingSinger, actor and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte opened Wednesday's inauguration for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. "Changing the stopandfrisk law is as important as it is; the change of a law is only the tip of the iceberg in fixing our deeply Dickensian justice system," Belafonte said. "Bill de Blasio has been overwhelmingly mandated to make many who for much too long danced with despair believe again that the American dream is attainable. A dream filled with hope, a dream filled with opportunity and justice.... Bill de Blasio gives New York another opportunity to open the door of possibilities. We New Yorkers must not let him fail."
