Voices Presents: A rebroadcast of: Paul Robeson

Voices From The Frontlines

On This Week's Show Voices Presents: A rebroadcast of: Paul Robeson Aired Tuesday, June 13, 2023 | 8am PST on KPFK Pacifica 90.7fm ON TODAY'S SHOW we're doing a rebroadcast honoring a great revolutionary superhero and friend Paul Robeson. Some of you may remember Paul Robeson as a Great Bass baritone and actor. But as we all have come to know, Paul was also a revolutionary thinker, activist, lawyer, linguist, cultural leader, and warrior. Paul spent his life, fighting injustice, standing up against racism, imperialism, and advocating for decolonization. In 1956 Paul was call before the U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee, for just such stance. Being the warrior that he is, Paul refused to cooperate with the Committee. Hence the U.S. systemic and historic persecution of Paul. But Despite that, Paul Robeson strength and legacy lives on. Join us in this rebroadcast, as Paul helps us fundraise for KPFK, as his revolutionary spirit moves us, and lives on.
