"The advisory panel will be co-chaired by Ford Foundation President Darren Walker and the city's commissioner of cultural affairs, Tom Finkelpearl.
Besides Belafonte, an entertainer and longtime civil-rights activist, and Arad, whose design for twin memorial pools was chosen out of 5,200 entries in a competition, the commission includes artists, writers and academics in diverse fields.
Jon Meacham, a biographer of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, and Mary Schmidt Campbell, the president of Spelman College in Atlanta, also are members."
