DESCRIPTION:SF Gray Panthers February Meeting\n"Paul Robeson and Black History 
 Month"\nTuesday, February 18, 1-3 PM\nPark Branch Library\n1833 Page (Betw 
 Cole & Schrader)\nFree, Wheelchairs OK\n\nPlease join the San Francisco 
 Gray Panthers for a  special Black History Month Program: music of the 
 great 1930s-1960s anti-racist singer and activist Paul Robeson;  
 descriptions of life on the San Francisco waterfront in that period; 
 poetry; and deeper discussions of labor, race, and class.\n\n•	Alex and 
 Harriet Bagwell, who sang with Robeson and studied his life, will perform 
 songs from his repertoire and will discuss labor, race, and class, based on 
 their years of experience in the ILWU Longshore Union and anti-racist labor 
 organizing. \n\n•	Alex will also read from his interview with Lloyd 
 Brown, Robeson's best friend and author of "The Young Paul Robeson; On My 
 Journey Now." Brown also helped Robeson write his autobiography "Here I 
 Stand."\n\n•	There will be the poetry of the Bagwell's son, Raven and 
 pre-Beat poet and playwright Helen Adam, both known in the Bay Area and 
 Britain.\n\n•	We will end with a discussion about what we all can do 
 today to repair the damage done to the African American community by the 
 cumulative impact of racism.\n\nThis program is the work of SF Gray 
 Panthers Restore Robeson Committee, which seeks to bring Paul Robeson back 
 to his rightful place in US history.\n
