Abstract

Paul Robeson-Made in America
Miers, Earl Schenck | May 27, 1950 issue

add to cart   close window

The article narrates how Paul Robeson who graduated from Rutgers College and once was the pride of his Alma Mater, turned hostile to his country and his classmates, who previously took pride in him, now don't want to see him. Robeson became a communist and this is largely attributed to his visit to Russia as quoted by his friends. Apparently it had never occurred to Robinson's classmates that if he is a Communist he may be largely an American-made product for which they are partly responsible, that his political revolt, now so violently condemned as an attack upon the American form of government, is essentially a revolt against the complacency of a generation that has failed to understand much of the world around it.
