Paul Robeson - The Peace Arch Concerts on WVUD Radio
Music and excerpts of speeches of this newly issued CD of the 1952 and 1953 concerts that Paul Robeson gave from a flatbed truck for 40,000 Canadians and Americans. His passport revoked because of his political views, Robeson and the Mine, Mill, and Smelters Union arranged the concerts to take place in Blaine, Washington, at the Peace Arch Park, one foot from the Canadian Border. The speeches give a compelling account of Robeson's struggle to be heard.
