Paul Robeson - On My Journey (CD)

An American giant of 20th-century music, Paul Robeson stood tall against racism, McCarthyism and blacklisting to proclaim the majesty of African-American culture. Recorded on his own Othello label in the 1950s, Robeson's voice rings out with traditional spirituals and folk melodies from around the globe inspiring international audiences to embrace him as the people's bard of faith, hope and freedom.
