50th anniversary of Paul Robeson's Othello in Stratford on Avon, which was seriously a triumph of more than just art:
In 1957, unable to accept countless invitations to perform abroad, Paul Robeson sang for audiences in London and Wales via the transatlantic telephone cable: "We have to learn the hard way that there is another way to sing".
Paul Robeson is one of my heroes, and if I had a time machine--1949, Stratford, Paul Robeson, Othello. Enough said.
