by Paul Robeson

Introduction by Sterling Stuckey
Renowned actor and singer Paul Robeson spent his life battling for the civil rights of all Americans. Robeson was blacklisted during the McCarthy era and wrote his famous memoir, Here I Stand, as a bold answer to his accusers. 'This amazing man, this great intellect, this magnificent genius with his overwhelming love of humanity is a devastating challenge to a society built on hypocrisy, greed and profit-seeking at the expense of common humanity.'
-- The New York Time
