Everything Southern Humboldt and more
A monologue play about the life of the iconic radical singer. No chance to watch it soon unless you happen to be at Carnegie Hall on February 12. However, I am informed that Mr. Aluko will be bringing the act to California at a later date. No idea when or where.
Addendum: A friend emailed some youtube links. The first is from Showboat, a classic.
And here’s an account of the HUAC, Jackie Robinson, Paul Robeson incident.

One of my favorite Michael Franti songs, “Stay Human”, has a line: “baritone, like a Robeson recording…. I’m giving thanks to being human every morning!”
