A world-renowned singer and actor, athlete, orator, activist, socialist, and patriot, he was most likely the most famous black man in the world in the mid-20th century. Robeson's conscience was indefatigable; he wasn't always right, but he never backed down from his enemies, principally imperialism and \"conservative capitalism.\" He paid a heavy price, from ostracism to outright persecution, for maintaining his principles. Here I Stand details all of it, with the usual interviews and film clips highlighted by a great deal of footage (performances, interviews, speeches) of Robeson himself. This fascinating story of a great man's life and work also includes a discography, filmography, and complete chronology. --Sam Graham\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00000JLTO\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00000JLTO.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Harry Belafonte|Tony Benn|Stephen Bourne|Ossie Davis|Uta Hagen|Lena Horne|Gordon Parks|Paul Robeson Jr.|Paul Robeson|Pete Seeger|St. Claire Bourne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
