DESCRIPTION:  SF Gray Panthers' Black History Month Meeting\n "Paul Robeson" and " 
 ILWU's Radical History Fighting White Supremacy"\nWhat lessons can we apply 
 to fight back against racism and fascism today?\n              Tuesday, 
 February 16, 1-3 PM, Zoom ID: 841 4605 9421\n              With Clarence 
 Thomas, ILWU, and Alex & Harriet Bagwell.\n\nSF Gray Panthers will look at 
 the life of Paul Robeson, world-renowned black anti-racist and champion of 
 workers' struggles everywhere. We will also look at the radical history of 
 the ILWU long shore workers union in fighting white supremacy on the job 
 and in the world. What they can teach us?\n\nIn examining Robeson's life, 
 we will remember how the 1949 Peekskill NY racist attack on a Paul Robeson 
 concert was later turned around by thousands of anti-racist supporters.  
 This resonates with us today after the racist January 6 insurrection in 
 Washington.  In examining ILWU's struggle against white supremacy, we will 
 remember the historic 2020 shutdown of Pacific coast ports in solidarity 
 with Black Lives Matter. This speaks to what kind of power is necessary to 
 challenge racism.\n\nOther topics: a petition to honor Paul Robeson;  the 
 SF Gray Panthers' Paul Robeson songbook;  Alex and Harriet Bagwell singing 
 songs from the Robeson Songbook;   Alex Bagwell's reflections on how 
 personal and societal racism interact, and how fighting back changes us 
 internally.  There will be lots of discussion.  Please join us.\n\n
