DESCRIPTION:Paul Robeson: A Portrait in Story & Song \nBy The Rockin’ Solidarity 
 Labor Chorus\nThe Rockin’ Solidarity Labor Chorus presents a musical 
 biography of Paul Robeson, the great African American artist, athlete, and 
 activist.\n\nPaul Robeson (1898-1976) was a glorious basso profoundo and by 
 far the tallest tree in the forest. He was an outstanding scholar, 
 linguist, actor,  singer, political activist for the workingclass and 
 athlete. \n\n The script is based on material gathered from primary sources 
 by Alex Bagwell, a Chorus member and ILWU retiree, who interviewed many of 
 Robeson’s associates while they were still alive. \n\n Robeson crossed 
 paths with notable figures of his era, including W.E.B. DuBois, Lena Horne, 
 and Harry Belafonte, but he also touched the lives of countless working men 
 and women. He said, “I have always put my faith and confidence in the 
 working people in all countries and of all colors. I truly believe that 
 they constitute the greatest force in the world for the advancement of all 
 people.”\n\nThe concert will trace Robeson’s journey from his youth in 
 New Jersey to Rutgers University and then to Broadway, concert stages, and 
 picket lines around the world. It also addresses Robeson’s encounter with 
 the anti-communist, racist, witch-hunting House Un-American Activities 
 Committee and the notorious Peekskill concert in 1949, at which racist 
 thugs attacked the audience and the performers.\n\n With solos by Bagwell 
 and others, the Chorus will sing many of the spirituals and folk songs from 
 Robeson’s repertoire, in new arrangements by Chorus director Pat Wynne.\n
