Durante más de treinta años ha permanecido oculto en una televisión sueca un material inédito sobre el movimiento estadounidense Black Power, pero ahora, una vez rescatado, se han puesto a disposición de todos las entrevistas, vídeos y reportajes que realizaron algunos periodistas del país nórdico en Estados Unidos, entre los años 1967 y 1975. Black Power fue un movimiento de defensa de los derechos de ciudadanos negros que se desarrolló en EEUU a finales de los sesenta y principios de los setenta. La protesta social reivindicaba el orgullo racial y cultural que suponía ser negro y demandaba igualdad de derechos políticos y sociales para toda la sociedad, independientemente de su raza.

Paul Robeson was a celebrated African-American Actor, Athlete, Singer, Writer, and Civil Rights Activist. Robeson's many achievements are chronicled in this program, ranging from playing with the NFL to graduating from Columbia Law School, performing on Broadway and in Hollywood films to founding the American Crusade against Lynching as well as Council on African Affairs. Robeson was one of the most talented performers of his time and a dedicated humanitarian who ultimately sacrificed fame and fortune for what he believed in. His association with Leftist Politics during the era of the Cold War, and frequent denouncing of American political parties led to his eventual blacklisting with other prominent writers and artists during the McCarthy Era. His talents in all areas are remarkable, and his dedication to attaining a peaceful coexistence between all the people of the world is truly admirable.
