• Track Listing

40,000 people assembled in 1952 and 1953 to hear Paul Robeson sing in defiance of the U.S. government, and it is those concerts—later dubbed the "Peace Arch Concerts"—that make up this CD. Neither of these concerts has ever been available to the general public, and they feature one of Robeson’s only political speeches on record along with his signature rendition of Old Man River.
