Paul Robeson testifying at the House Un-American Activities Committee


Comrade Robeson gives a timelessly inspiring speech against racism, imperialist war, and capitalism. In arguing for full freedom against an American "court" (unconstitutional and undemocratic), Robeson affirms the liberation movement of the socialists and exposes the oppressive nature of capitalist dictatorship.

This recording is a re-enactment by James Earl Jones.

I didn't post that before?

Created by the Social Security Administration, Genius on the Black Side was a series of five-minute radio fillers that met the FCC requirement for public service programming and threw a little bit of current rock into the mix. Narrated by James Earl Jones, each episode gives you some background on the artist, a highlight of Social Security benefits, and a piece of a hit song.
