Peace Arch Concerts on CD

In the 1950's, singer, artist and activist, Paul Robeson had his passport revoked because of his political views. Defying the government's attempts to silence him, 1952 & 1953 he stood on a flat-bed truck parked one foot from the Canadian Border at the Peace Arch Park in Blaine, Washington and sang to 40,000 Canadians and Americans. These concerts, including his dramatic 1953 speech are presented here on this album along with a compelling account of his struggle to be heard.
