Seeing Red Radio 4/9/09: Paul Robeson and Phil Ochs
We honor this day, April 9th, in the history of revolutionary liberation with a celebration of the lives of Paul Robeson and Phil Ochs, a remembrance of the massacre at Deir Yessin in 1948 and the courageous members of the Congress of Racial Equality’s who braved the chain gangs of the racist South to force the desegregation of interstate transportation known as the Journey of Reconciliation in 1947.

Hi,
I was brought up a Catholic in Sydney Australia and we listened to Paul Robeson after mass every Sunday. He is my hero. I love his singing and speaking voice and what he stood for.
Could someone please explain to me why he is not honoured as one of the pioneers leading to the success of Obama’s election to President?
