Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child-Paul Robeson

There's so much to be said about Mr. Robeson. He was an athlete, attorney, incredible singer, movie
star and much more.
His father was born in slavery but escaped to the north via the underground railroad, at age 15!

Our country took much of his pride away when they confiscated his passport in 1950, stating
that to retrieve it he would have to admit to being a Communist. He refused.

Thank you fine, young performer! I'm honored to hear from you! Saw your video and gave it "thumbs up!" Best wishes!

Just saw a dance rendition to this song by Lawrence Jackson, Instructor of Dance at U of Wyoming. Extraordinary! That event, African MAAFA Remembrance Day, on Sat., April 2012, at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyo,, also featured a 3-person dance troupe performing Strange Fruit, which Jackson had choreographed. Very moving. More people should see this!

Thanks so much for writing! I'm hoping the production did well; it's difficult to imagine otherwise. Both musical works are thrilling to me, but "Strange Fruit" always gives me the shivers; such a sad song. Wonderful to hear from you!

A great person who fought for freedom for all races and was not politically motivated, but the American government cannot see beyond the dollar and there own political motives.

Thanks so much for your kind and understanding words regarding this upload. I'm grateful to hear from you. Just got wind of the new YT page design, so I hope you receive this message.

Had some good luck this past weekend. I found a fine version of Mr. R singing "Deep River." I uploaded it a couple of days ago, and am sending it your way.

One more thanks!
