Our committee continues to gather
Robeson memorabilia for a permanent Paul Robeson Archive, whose
ultimate home will be a public venue in the San Francisco Bay Area
where young people can learn about this quintessential role model.
Several pieces from our collection were displayed, from April 8
through August 26, 2006, in the exhibit “Paul Robeson, The Tallest
Tree In Our Forest,” at the African American Museum and Library at
Oakland, and we will have other exhibits. Since beginning this collection in 1999, we have received many items from folks in the U.S. and around the world. Yet, there is much additional material to be found, and we ask for your help: Please think about all the people you know; some of them may have items they would consider donating to our developing historic archive. Memorabilia can include anything related to Robeson: · Publicity, promotional leaflets, printed programs from his appearances · Audio or video recordings · Photographs, posters, artwork · Costumes or stage props used by him · Speeches by or about him · Newspaper or magazine articles, pamphlets, correspondence · An autographed copy of "Here I Stand" or a copy translated into another language Any material you can provide will be an important contribution to our mission of helping to restore Paul Robeson to his rightful place in history and making his life and legacy more accessible to the public, especially the youth of today and coming generations.
