Testimony of Paul Robeson before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, June 12, 1956 ↪

“My father was a slave and my people died to build this country, and I’m going to stay right here and have a part of it, just like you. And no fascist-minded people will drive me from it. Is that clear? You are the nonpatriots, and you are the un-Americans, and you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.”
