Join us for the final film in a series of screenings dedicated to the cinematic performances of Paul Robeson, the noted African-American actor, singer, and activist. Our screening will commence with a brief listen to Robeson's testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee.
By the start of World War II, Paul Robeson had given up his lucrative mainstream work to participate in more socially progressive film and stage productions. As David Goliath, in the popular British drama The Proud Valley, Robeson is the quintessential everyman, an American sailor who joins rank-and-file Welsh miners organizing against the powers that be.
Shuttle bus service to/from College Hill. We welcome all students, faculty, staff, and the greater Easton community.
Part of a series of events in Spring 2017: BODY AND SOUL: THE ART AND ACTIVISM OF PAUL ROBESON
