PAUL robson TO SING AT
TUSKEGEE SOUTHERN
YOUTH MEET
First Appearance in Deep South

birmingham, Ala, 3-26-42. An
nouncement was made today that Paul
Robson will be presented for t n e
first time in the South, when he sings
at the cultural session of the 9th ALI
Southern Negro Youth Conference,
which is to be held at Tuskegee, In
stitute, Alabama, Saturday, April IL.
The singers first appearance in the
deep South will be before an audience
of delegates and friends who gather
at the first South-wide conference of
Negro youth devoted to national unity
and national defense. Robson, who
has just completed a series of con-
certs in the midwest and west has
many times in the past months spoken
out for an end to the discrimination
which is menacing the successful de-
tense of America. He has also stated
h the primary issue facing our
country today is the defeat of Fas-
cism.
The Southern Negro Youth Con-
gress, sponsors of the event, declared
that Robeson's appearance will be es-
pecially appropriate because the great
singer smybolizes more than any
! other American, the spirit of inter.
national unity against Hitlerism
which will keynote the Conference
1t was pointed out that, before the
National Administration recognized
the full meaning of the Japanes,
threat to American security, Robeso,
sang Chinese war songs to the sold
iers of Chang Kai-shek's Army. II
1888 he visited the trenches in Spai,
and with his songs encouraged Negr,
and white American volunteers in tn
Spanish Republican Army. In Lon
don he gave benefits for the British
troops, and he is greatly loved an,
admired in the Soviet Union wher
for many years, the Robson famil
made its home.
