On this day, 9 April 1898, Paul Robeson, African-American singer, actor, communist and former shipyard worker was born. During his lifetime, he became involved with the struggle against fascism, actively supporting the fight against Franco during the civil war, as well as the civil rights movement and workers’ struggles. He was blacklisted for his activism during the McCarthy era. This is a video of him performing one of his most beautiful songs, I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night, to an audience of Scottish miners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0bezsMVU7c http://bit.ly/2IoWkFV
