In the late 1940s PAUL ROBESON was blacklisted and put under a performing ban. No radio and TV performances, no new records.
The Othello label was created to allow Robeson to record new records. These are his last 78 rpm records
Paul Robeson's son, Paul Jr., created the Othello Records label to enable his blacklisted father to continue working professionally. Robeson had been blacklisted in 1947 and his passport had been revoked in 1949 after he publicly doubted at a Peace Congress in Paris, France, whether American blacks and working class whites would participate in a war against the Soviet Union (he regained his passport and freedom to travel only in June 1958, after a lengthy legal battle).
Through Othello Records, which shared offices with the newspaper "Freedom," Robeson released three albums between 1953 and 1958, some sold in a special Subscribers Edition.
