PAUL ROBESON - A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE AND WORK
Our Black and Ethnic Minority Members' Conference this year passed a resolution calling for an event during Black History Month to mark the 40th anniversary of the passing of the revolutionary Paul Robeson. Such an event should be “dedicated to educate our members on the history of the role of Robeson and members of the NUR/RMT in the Spanish war against facism.”
It's a sad loss to lose any lives, but so much sadder when it's a young life.
Recently, Leon Brumant attended the RMT's National Black and Ethnic Minority Members conference in Manchester. His inquisitive nature and thirst for knowledge, made his enthusiasm infectious.
