The Robeson Union

Paul and Eslanda "Essie" Robeson have had an indelible impact on a worldwide scale. They stood for equality, freedom, and fairness for all peoples. In the context of Continental Africans and Africans-at-Large, they felt that their freedom was also an indicator for freedom of all peoples. "Labor in the ivory skin can never free itself as long as labor in the black skin is branded."― Karl Marx. They embody freedom for all and their unilateral work towards freedom is the framework for our organization as well.
