Recording of "Paul Robeson: A Song of Freedom," a one-person dramatic reading written and performed by Charles Turner. Turner is a veteran Broadway actor and former resident of the Allerton Coops in The Bronx, where Paul Robeson visited regularly during the 1940s and 1950s. The performance is an outgrowth of an exhibit on the Allerton Coops at the Museum of Bronx History that opened on August 12, 2023. Turner's piece dramatically retells the life of Robeson, perhaps the most prominent African-American polymath—actor, singer, athlete, activist, and scholar—of the first half of the twentieth century before the Red Scare tried to erase him from history.
The event was held at the Andrew Freedman Home in The Bronx and was co-sponsored by the Eta Omega Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., the Fordham Center for Community Engaged Learning, and Dr. Mark Naison of The Bronx African American History Project.
Recorded by Sonyi Lopez and Patti Morris.
