We think today of Paul Robeson not being allowed to sing by fascist whites. Paul Robeson sang for all---not only for his own black people, but for all America, white and black and brown and red-- for that real America which today stands for the freedom of all people and stands against United States imperialism at the same time, because it knows that there is no future for the people of the United States without a world at peace and a world in freedom….Paul Robeson himself is here. He did not die. He lives on in the hearts of all the people in the United States who fight for peace, who fight against racism and racial discrimination. The people of the United States shall win. Their struggle is one with the fight of all other peoples who are fighting against imperialism and oppression, who are fighting for peace.
