You're welcome Miriam. My friend and fellow Paul Robeson respecter
tells me that she enters Paul Robeson in the YouTube search box and
gets a pile of links, including his concert at the Peace Arch at
Blaine, Washington. This was during the years the government was
"punishing" Robeson for his outspoken views, and had taken his
Passport away.
I remember my dad putting on his only suit, and mother in her one fine
dress, and the two of them heading off to see Paul Robeson as Othello.
I begged to go. Of course I had no idea of how they had scrimped to
get enough for the two seats. And I look back and chuckle about a
small boy sitting through that entire performance.
I did mention before my dad and I attending a Union Rally in Seattle,
and listening to Paul Robeson speak. What a voice! And he must have
been in his 50's, but looked physically magnificent.
I found a number of titles but haven't tried linking to any of them. Carl

Carl,
Thanks so much for this. I've just watched the whole thing and learned some
things I hadn't known, and cried a bit too, for him, for what people were
fighting, for the similarities between 1948 and now, and for us. I wish
there'd been audio description so I'd have known who all those people were,
but I did recognize Harry Belafonte and Pete Seeger, and I could tell when
Paul's son was talking. For anyone who hasn't watched and wishes to, this
video takes about two and a quarter hours.
