By the start of World War II\, Paul Robeso n had given up his lucrative mainstream work to participate in more social ly progressive film and stage productions. Robeson committed his support t o Paul Strand and Leo Hurwitz's political semidocumentary Native Land. Wit h Robeson's narration and songs\, this beautifully shot film exposes viola tions of Americans' civil liberties and is a call to action for exploited workers around the country.

We will be joined by Joy Barnes-Johnso n from the Paul Robeson House of Princeton to discuss this seminal work.\nhttps://edisonpubliclibrary.libnet.info/event/12961515 URL;VALUE=URI:https://edisonpubliclibrary.libnet.info/event/12961515 ATTACH:https://static.libnet.info/images/events/edisonpubliclibrary/Paul_R obeson.jpeg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
