FIRST DAY OF ISSUE © 2004 United States Postal Service (0404) Rodney Lawrence Hurst Sr. Papers Thomas G Carpenter Library Special Collections AMERICAN COMMEMORATIVE PANELS Paul Robeson W H EN PAUL ROBESON spoke, people listened. With his booming voice and incredible presence, he was undoubtedly one of the finest performers of the 20th century-and one of the most controversial. This 27th stamp in the Black Heritage series celebrates Robeson not only for his prodigious talents as an actor, singer, activist, and athlete, but also for his tireless and uncompromising commitment to civil rights and social justice. Born in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1898, Robeson displayed a broad range of talents early in life. He graduated from Rutgers College in 1919 as the class valedictorian, and he worked as an athlete and performer to pay his way through law school. When a white secretary refused to take dictation from him in 1924, he resigned from his job at a law firm and embarked on a full-time career as a performer. Robeson quickly rose to promi­ nence: he appeared in Eugene O'Neill plays on Broadway, he played Shake­ Well known as an activist, Robeson infused speare's Othello in London, and his public appearances with his strong political beginning with a highly acclaimed beliefs, especially his principled stand against concert in 1925 he established racism in the U.S. and around the world.

Today Robeson is remembered as much for his activism as for his talents as a performer, all of which derived from the strong principles he expressed throughout his life.

  • The History of Star Trek
    The History of Star Trek The original Star Trek was the brainchild of Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991), a US TV producer and scriptwriter. His idea was to make a TV series that combined the futuristic possibilities of science fiction with the drama and excitement of TV westerns (his original title for the series was ‘Wagon Train to the Stars’). Star Trek was first aired on American TV in 1966, and ran for three series. Each episode was a self-contained adventure/mystery, but they were all linked together by the premise of a gigantic spaceship, crewed by a diverse range of people, travelling about the galaxy on a five-year mission ‘to explore new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before’. Although not especially successful it attracted a loyal fan-base, partly male fans that liked the technological and special effects elements of the show. But the show also attracted a large number of female fans, many of whom were drawn to the complex interaction and dynamic between the three main characters, the charismatic but impetuous Captain Kirk (William Shatner), the crotchety old doctor McCoy (DeForest Kelley) and the coldly logical Vulcan science officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy). After the show was cancelled in 1969 the fans conducted a lengthy and ultimately successful campaign to resurrect the franchise. Roddenberry enjoyed success with several motion pictures, including Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979); action-thriller Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982); Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) and the more comic Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).

  • Othello by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Directed by Michael Kahn Featuring Avery Brooks and Patrick Page
    For Immediate Release: Press Contact: Liza Holtmeier August 1, 2005 202.608.6302 [email protected] SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY’S 2005-2006 SEASON OPENS WITH Othello BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Directed by Michael Kahn Featuring Avery Brooks and Patrick Page WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Shakespeare Theatre Company opens its 2005-2006 season with Artistic Director Michael Kahn directing a production of Othello from August 30 to October 30, 2005. With poetry rivaling King Lear and with the psychological depth of Hamlet, Shakespeare’s Othello is a highly charged tale of jealousy, prejudice, revenge and the destruction of innocence. For the production, Kahn directs a cast that includes Avery Brooks as Othello, Patrick Page as Iago, Colleen Delany as Desdemona, Lise Bruneau as Emilia and Company Member David Sabin as Brabantio. Media partner The Washingtonian magazine provides promotional support throughout the run. Passed over for the position of Othello’s lieutenant, Iago begins to plot his revenge against the Moor. Believing his wife, Emilia, has been unfaithful with Othello, Iago plans to poison Othello’s marriage with jealousy. As Iago’s lies begin to take hold, Othello questions more and more the fidelity of his new bride, eventually destroying his once-happy marriage. “Othello is extraordinary in its psychological complexities, and I think it is a reduction of the play to say it is simply a study of jealousy,” says Michael Kahn. “It’s a study of a great man, the world around him and his destruction. And although the play deals with jealousy – and, to an even greater extent, obsession – it doesn’t start out as a play about jealousy.

  • Using Film to Teach Psychology: a Resource of Film Study Guides
    USING FILM TO TEACH PSYCHOLOGY: A RESOURCE OF FILM STUDY GUIDES Elizabeth M. Nelson, Christian Brothers University (2002 Instructional Resource Award Recipient) Overview This 106-page resource offers instructors tools for using films to enhance their instruction. Student evaluations consistently indicate that films help them learn the topics, provide an alternative to traditional lectures, and give them a different point of view. However, students also say they do not like to view films if they do not understand the relevancy of the film to the course material. This resource gives teachers of psychology additional tools for using film, such as tested study guides, sample syllabi, student papers, references, and Internet resources. The film study guides contained in this resource have been used in a variety of psychology classes, and may be applicable to a variety of other courses.

  • Racial Issues and Star Trek's Deep Space Nine
    Racial Issues and Star Trek’s Deep Space Nine By J. Emmett Winn Spring 2003 Issue of KINEMA HIGHLY OFFENSIVE FERENGI: RACIAL ISSUES AND STAR TREK’S MULTICUL- TURAL DEEP SPACE NINE STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE is the third official Star Trek series based on the ideas of the late Gene Roddenberry. The popularity of the Star Trek series has earned them an honoured place in America’s popular culture.(1) Likewise, scholarly attention to Star Trek points to its importance to the study of media culture.(2) Star Trek, even before its broadcast of television’s first interracial kiss, has always had two missions. The first, its entertainment mission as part of the television industry, is the well known: ”Its five yearmissionis to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man [sic] has gone before.”(3) Deep Space Nine’s creators, Berman and Pillar, state the second is the less publicly articulated mission of addressing matters of socio-cultural concern. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is very successful in syndication and with Star Trek fans.(4) DS9 assembles the most racially and ethnically diverse group of all the preceding Star Treks. The most prominent difference is that the lead character, Captain Benjamin Sisko, is played by African-American actor Avery Brooks. Brooks is the first (and so far the last) Black actor to play the lead role inany Star Trek series or film. Equally important, the basic plot of DS9 (throughout its seven year run, 1993-2000) revolves around the problems associated with different ”races” of peoples living together in an hostile environment.

Given the fact that an average American school-aged child watches around thirty hours of television every week,1 filling over 30% of his or her waking hours, it is impossible to conclude that this experience is benign. Sociologists and psychologists clearly don't. But apart from their many studies identifying the generally negative effects television has on children's cognitive development, a more fundamental cause for alarm lies in the relationship between television and its insidious effects on individual and cultural identity.
