Paul Robeson's passport was restored in 1958. It is fitting that the former Soviet Union named a mountain in honor of this colossus of a man. His birthday has been honored in China and India with national days of celebration.

Workers around the world sing "Joe Hill" while remembering their hero big Paul. Union officials name their sons Paul and his name and accomplishments are being restored to the record books. Paul Robeson's legacy is being reclaimed for this generation, to be passed onto the next generation and generations to follow.

The Great Forerunner, the Tallest Tree in the Forest has gone home yet his spirit resides in all of us who courageously continues the march forward.

"Because my father was a slave, and my people died to build this country, and I am going to stay here, and have apart of it just like you."

"The artist must take a stand for freedom or slavery. I have made my decision. I had no alternative."
-Paul Robeson
