Join us to hear Ann Curthoys in conversation with Professor Joy Damousi about The Last Tour.

Thursday 2 October, 6.30pm
Readings State Library

We are delighted to have Ann Curthoys and Professor Joy Damousi join us for a conversation about The Last Tour.

Paul Robeson was once the most famous African American in the world. Not only was he a renowned singer and actor with a stunning bass baritone voice, revered throughout the world, he was also a former professional athlete, lawyer and civil rights activist. Curthoys' The Last Tour is based on extensive new documentary and oral history research of Paul and Eslanda Robeson’s Visit to Australia and New Zealand. It explores why the trip was such a success and how it exerted a profound influence both at the time and over future generations.

Free, but booking are essential.

Please book here.
