"Profiles of Three Black Testifiers in the Investigation of Paul Robeson's Potential Threat to the USA by the House Un-American Activities Committee" by Jesse Friedman.
(http://www.sirius.com/~mcjester/writings/blacktestify.html)
Three "testifiers" are:
      1) Manning Johnson - paid informer for the Justice Dept
      2) Jackie Robinson - he was intimidated into giving weak testimony, criticizing Robeson
      3) Canada Lee - because he had lost his income through the black list, he was intimidated into testifying against Robeson.. Interesting for information relating to the Committee hearings. An excellent article but marred by anti-Communist apologies, etc.
