Educational documentation of the August 4, 1950 State Department revocation of Paul Robeson’s passport, the 1955 court ruling against his appeal, and the broader campaign of blacklisting that erased his recordings, newsreel appearances, and concert career. Used to anchor the name-erasure thread connecting Robeson’s lifetime persecution to the 2026 closure of the school named for him.
