Records that Robeson “was denied the right by the U.S. government to international travel in 1950 because of his political beliefs,” that he lost his court appeal on August 16, 1955, and that “Newsreel footage of him was destroyed, recordings were erased and there was a clear effort in the media to avoid any mention of his name.” It does not give the day of the 1950 action.
