Left of Black | Dr. Shana L. Redmond on the Life and Impact of Paul Robeson
Показать описание
Who was the first Black movie icon? Many would argue in favor of the unparalleled and unmatched Paul Robeson. Known for his immense presence on the silver screen and his baritone singing voice, Robeson also shook up the status quo of his day as political activist for Civil Rights drawing praise and scrutiny on the world stage. Dr. Shana L. Redmond, Professor of Musicology and African American Studies at UCLA, sits with Prof. Mark Anthony Neal to discuss her latest publication, "Everything Man: The Form and Function of Paul Robeson," published by @dukeuniversity Press.
