Notably: From the Jan. 24, 1976 obituary of Paul Robeson in The Times: “Mr. Robeson, who had been an all‐America football star at Rutgers, where he also won letters in baseball, basketball and track and a Phi Beta Kappa key, had refused interviews and had seen only members of his family and close friends in recent years. […] One of the most influential performers and political figures to emerge from black America, Mr. Robeson was under a cloud in his native land during the cold war as a political dissenter and an outspoken admirer of the Soviet Union. These circumstances, as well as the award in 1952 of a Stalin Peace Prize, combined to close many minds to his artistic merits as a singer and actor. However, in his 75th year, Mr. Robeson was the subject of high praise by Clayton Riley, the American cultural historian: “One of the nation’s greatest men, an individual whose time on earth has been spent in the pursuit of justice for all human beings and toward the enlightenment of men and women the world over.” This encomium could be printed in a national newspaper in 1972 without raising a perceptible furor, but unstinting praise of Mr. Robeson as a man and as an interpretive artist would have been unusual in the United tSates between 1945 and 1963, the year his arteriosclerosis, and moodiness, forced him into retirement.

“There are others, honest men beyond all doubt and sincerely concerned with their people’s welfare, who seem to feel that it is the duty of a leader to discourage Negro mass action. They think that best results can be achieved by the quiet negotiations they carry on. And so when something happens that arouses the masses of people, and when the people gather in righteous anger to demand that militant actions be started, such men believe it their duty to cool things off.”
―Paul Robeson, Here I Stand.

This totally cracked me up this morning. Gave me my chuckle for the day. Sometimes I don’t always “get” the political cartoons but this one was easy and very funny.
