"The issue is very lively, and both educational and fun to read. It is obvious that much thoughtful work went into its conception and production. The articles contain considerable information in a manner that is appropriate to young people. By the time readers get to the end of the magazine they really have a thoughtful image of who Paul Robeson was, and they have some understanding of the historical context in which he functioned, and therefore, the significance of his accomplishments. The moral principles upon which he based his life were clearly described without being preachy, superficial, or patronizing."
-- Marilyn Robeson
