What can be said about Paul Robeson?
So much has been written, controversial, some of it, most
in great praise. Paul was a man of his time blessed with
overwhelming talent as an athlete, a man of letters, a prick
to the social conscience of all oppressors, a spokesman in
the service of his beloved people. His tremendous talents
placed him on the Shakespearean stage, the silver screen in
numerous starring roles, and not in the least his deep, deep
voice seeped deep into the hearts of his fans around the world,
speaking strongly of the dark mysteries of black people as
they struggled to stand aright against truly inhuman forces.
Ah, truly, what can be said of Paul Robeson? |
