Over the years, the figure of Paul Robeson has risen from a baritone singer I once enjoyed, to one of the the most important figures in American history.
We are floating on the same plane, Matthew. Not ten minutes ago, I emailed a video of Paul Robeson’s rendition of “ Go Down Moses” to my daughter!
Our very multiethnic family attended a most unusual Passover Seder. Among the guests was the Pastor of a local AME church who happened to have been a gospel singer in his youth. When the guests learned of it, he was cajoled into singing and opted for “ Go Down Moses”. He performed in a rhythmic style.
My daughter called this morning wanting to know the name of the song. She was sharing the story with her staff. I told her that to really appreciate it, she needed to hear Paul Robeson’s exquisite baritone… and sent it just prior to receiving your email.
I’ve never attributed serendipitous episodes to coincidence. There’s no such thing
Funny how someone else on the photo of 3 men could have the same comment Paul Robeson's ' wife said when asked if he ever strayed from the path: "Strayed from the path? He took a hike."

yes, it is regrettable America I knew has lost its soul and I will be difficult to find a way back
Did mossad kill Kennedy?** Dimona and other pretexts to protect?

He was a bass-baritone as you can hear
