Rutgers pride!

Jim O'Sullivan

Robeson had an incredible life...All American at Rutgers, earned advanced degrees with honors, became a star in Europe, fought for equal rights in the US, black balled for his efforts and that was just for starters. An incredible talent and a very meaningful life!

There’s an old man called the Mississippi; that’s the old man that I’d like to be. What does he care if the world’s got troubles? What does he care if the land ain’t free? Ol’ man river, that ol’ man river He must know somethin’ but don't say nuthin' He just keeps rollin' he keeps on rollin' along. He don't plant taters, he don't plant cotton, And them that plants 'em is soon forgotten, But ol’ man river, he just keeps rollin' along. You and me, we sweat and strain, Body all achin' and wracked with pain, Tote that barge! Lift that bale! Ya gets a little drunk and you land in jail! I get weary and sick of tryin' I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin', But ol’ man river, he just keeps rollin' along.Let me go 'way from the Mississippi,Let me go 'way from de white man boss;Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross.O' man river,Dat ol' man river,He mus'know sumpin'But don't say nuthin'He jes' keeps rollin'He keeps on rollin' along.Long ol' river forever keeps rollin' on...He don' plant tater,He don' plant cotton,An' dem dat plants 'emIs soon forgotten,but ol' man river,He jes' keeps rollin' along.Long ol' river keeps hearing dat song.You an' me, we sweat an' strain,Body all achin an' racked wid pain.Tote dat barge!Lif' dat bale!Git a little drunkAn' you land in jail.Ah, gits wearyAn' sick of tryin'Ah'm tired of livin'An' skeered of dyin',But ol' man river,He jes'keeps rollin' along!

Paul Robeson did more for America than entire Congresses and Presidents, yet was force from these shores. A Beautiful song and a Beautiful man.

Haunting beautiful song

Nancy Sargent

This is a song you feel in your heart...such a beautiful voice singing of such a horrifying time. The slave owners and insane prejudice may have physically and mentally tortured the innocent, but it couldn't stomp out their faith and strong spirits! This is a song you have to pause for, cry for, and always remember, so that you can fight to keep such evil at bay.
