Description
A timeless declaration of courage and conviction, Here I Stand is Paul Robeson’s passionate and personal defense of his identity, ideals, and unwavering fight for human rights. As a world-renowned singer, actor, and activist, Robeson was both celebrated and vilified for his outspoken stance against racial injustice and imperialism. In this landmark work, he explores the roots of his worldview, delving into his upbringing, education, and awakening to the global struggles of oppressed peoples. With powerful clarity and heartfelt prose, Robeson articulates why he refused to be silent in the face of McCarthyism and why the ideals of justice and equality are worth standing for—no matter the cost. This edition, published by Othello Associates in 1958, offers a rare glimpse into the mind of one of America’s most influential and controversial voices of the 20th century. A must-read for students of history, civil rights, and political courage.
