Paul Robeson, Political Outlaw: Lessons for Today from the Black Radical Tradition
The class will feature Howard University professor Greg Carr and Rethinking Schools editor and high school teacher Jesse Hagopian.
Take two minutes to watch a short video of Dr. Carr talking about Paul Robeson in this tweet — and then you’ll know why this session is not to be missed. The class will explore questions such as: With white supremacy on the rise today, what lessons can we take from Paul Robeson’s struggles against fascism and for workers’ rights, Black liberation, and socialism? Paul Robeson faced extreme repression during the McCarthy era. How does McCarthyism disrupt struggles for racial and social justice — in history and today? What lessons can be learned from Eslanda Robeson? She is erased from the textbooks — as are so many Black women in history and today.
