Beijing: 110th Celebration of Paul Robeson’s Birthday in Photographs (2008)
He Dazhang (who together with American guests was in-charge of the ‘memorial’ for this event) stated: ‘Although Paul Robeson and Soong Ching Ling never met in person, their activities on the international stage were very similar, as both worked tirelessly for world peace, and both shared a strong responsibility to strive to bring the peoples of the US and China closer together in friendship and understanding. This aspiration expresses the highest attributes of human thinking. Today, the international communities gathers in Beijing to commemorate the great personality of Paul Robeson, but for Chinese people, we want to state to the world that we as a nation, will never forget Paul Robeson, or the fact that he supported our struggle against fascism. We owe it to his memory to never let fascism arise in the world again, and continuously work for peace and harmony throughout society and the international community. This is something we must all fight for in the world!’

Dr Who: Was William Hartnell a Socialist?
Paul Robeson had suffered terrible persecution in the USA for his political beliefs, and I think it is significant that Hartnell had the fore-sight to place Robeson at the top of his list. Charlie Chaplin was hounded-out of the USA for his leftwing sympathies (and friendship with Ho Chi Minh). William Hartnell had no qualms associating himself with these other great progressive entertainers and revolutionaries.
