	Paul Robeson
		Paul Robeson was one of the foremost African-Americans of the twentieth century.
		Robeson’s association with South Wales dates from 1928 when, whilst performing in ‘Show Boat’ in London’s West End, he met a group of unemployed miners who had walked to London to draw attention to the hardship and suffering endured by thousands of unemployed miners and their families in South Wales.
		Every year between 1952 and 1957, Robeson was invited to sing at the Miners’ Eisteddfod in Porthcawl but he was unable to travel because his passport had been withdrawn by the US Government because of his outspoken left wing and anti-racist views.

		Robeson's repertoire of African-American folk songs helped bring these to much wider attention both inside the US and abroad — in particular his rendition of "Go Down Moses." Robeson also became interested in the folk music of the world; he came to be conversant with 20 languages, fluent or near fluent in 12.
		Robeson's appearance on TV is a crude attempt to silence the outstanding spokesman for the Negro people in their fight for civil and human rights" and that our "basic democratic rights are under attack under the smoke-screen of anti-Communism." Protesters picketed NBC offices and protests arrived from numerous public figures, organizations and others.
		Robeson sang in and was conversant in more than 20 languages, and at one time carried enough clout to be considered for a vice presidential spot on Henry A. Wallace's 1948 Progressive Party ticket.

		Robeson became sympathetic to the Soviet Union, because its leaders articulated an ideal of a non-racist society, which allowed a person to be valued without prejudice.
		As the organizers told Robeson's manager, "we are having the buses pick up along to the route to the Arch this year, and the pick-up points are stated on the tickets." The union advertised the concert in bus stations, in the local press, and placed ads in Seattle.
		The constraints imposed on Robeson were not enforced because he was violent, or a criminal, or a danger to the state, but because he was a critic, and his ideas antagonized the American government.

	Guide Introduction: The Paul Robeson Collection
		Early in the marriage, Eslanda Robeson played a decisive role in changing the course of her husband's career: according to his own reminiscence, it was she who urged him to accept the title role in Ridgely Torrence's play Simon the Cyrenian performed at the YWCA in Harlem in 1921.
		Robeson had resumed touring the country in 1952 in a series known initially as the Paul Robeson Birthday Tours, because they were usually centered around his birthday.
		Included in the legal correspondence are Robeson's passport applications submitted to the State Department (1952-54), and letters to and from the law firms of Witt and Kramer (1951-52) and Leonard Boudin who presented the passport case to the Supreme Court (1954-56).

		Robeson commented that, as he saw the part, Othello was to the end a man of great dignity, not one who had lost his pride but rather one of another culture in a strange land, who felt that he had been betrayed.

		Robeson (1898-1976), the son of a minister and former slave, was a former US college football star who later enjoyed a remarkable career in which he often triumphed over racism.
		Robeson's later career was marred by his clash with the US Government over his Communist sympathies and much-publicised visits to the Soviet Union, and his outspoken campaign against racial discrimination.
		Robeson had strong links with the Welsh miners from the 1920's and in 1938, on a visit to Wales, he paid tribute - at a Mountain Ash meeting - to Welshmen who fought in the International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War.

	Frontline 02 - Paul Robeson
		Known and revered across three continents, Robeson was an early civil rights activist, a communist, an actor, and a world-renowned singer, yet at the time of his death in 1976 he was almost a forgotten man in his native country.
		Paul Robeson followed the line that fl people should embrace their African-American cultural identity and not let it be swallowed up by the overpowering prevailing Western culture.
		This however, caused him to be isolated in the USA especially in the civil rights movement where his sympathies to the Soviet Union (he sent his son to be educated there) proved to be too much for the liberal section of the movement.

		He sings in an androgynous, gorgeous voice that reaches up into the heights of the scale and down again while soulfulness and expressiveness that help match the depth and emotional scale of the music.
		He sings against a backdrop of synthesizer and beats, yet the musical mood ranges from bright and cute to darker and sadder (as on the heartwrenching "Suicide").

		Paul Robeson’s life story and work are rich in the principles that drive the quartet and his passion and dignity bleed directly into the dedicatory music.
		The middle episodes sacrifice linear clarity for an abstracted intricacy that is at times patience taxing, but placed in the context of the whole their purpose makes perfect sense.
		In a sense they reflect Robeson’s own ideological imperative of following one’s own muse and convictions whatever the cost to reputation and risk to self.
