"Kings and Pawns": Howard Bryant on What Jackie Robinson & Paul Robeson Reveal About America
Today marks the 50th anniversary of Paul Robeson’s death on January 23, 1976. The actor, singer, athlete and scholar was once famous around the world, but he was attacked, blacklisted and hounded by the government for his political beliefs. Jackie Robinson, the Brooklyn Dodgers star who had integrated the all-white major baseball leagues, was hailed as a national hero in 1949 for testifying against Robeson before the House Un-American Activities Committee associated with Senator Joseph McCarthy. For more, we speak with sports journalist Howard Bryant, author of the new book Kings and Pawns that looks at how Robeson and Robinson’s paths intertwined at the height of the McCarthy era. “History writes people out of the story, and it’s our job to write them back in,” Bryant says. Fifty years after Paul Robeson’s death, “it’s time for a reappraisal of one of the great Americans.”
ICE Out of Minnesota: Unions & Churches Lead Economic Blackout in "Day of Truth and Freedom"
Hundreds of businesses in Minnesota have closed for the day as part of an economic blackout to protest the surge of ICE agents into the state. Organizers of the strike include faith leaders and unions, who are encouraging people to stay home from work, school and shopping. Kieran Knutson, president of the Communications Workers of America Local 7250, says the strike comes “after weeks of living under the heavy weight of this racist campaign of terror by ICE agents” in the Twin Cities area. “Nothing runs without the working class in this country, and today we’re going to show our power.”
