I found his autobiography in a second hand store many years ago and bought it for some reason. A sometimes very sad, but inspirational read. Was totally surprised by the fact that he spoke about his friends at the Haymarket massacre, and the fact that he was a close friend to Joe Hill, who he has a song about.
Paul Robeson has been one of my favorite singers since then. What a beautiful voice and what an interesting person.
