Here We Stand! Paul Robeson Memorial Concert |
May 18, 2002 50th Anniversary Robeson Memorial Concert |
 |
VANCOUVER, SATURDAY MAY 18, 2002: On May 18, 1952, in defiance of the authorities who refused to allow him to cross the border, Paul Robeson stood on the back of a flat bed truck on the US-Canada border and sang songs of defiance and solidarity to 40,000 people. 50 years later, on May 18, 2002 activists from both Canada and the United States, organized Here We Stand!, a free concert at the same location to commemorate the 1952 event. The issues dear to Paul Robeson - social justice, freedom, and civil rights - are as pertinent now are they were then. |
