Paul Robeson

Open Pollinated. 90 days. Incredible rich smoky flavor. Originating in Russia and named in honor of the great social activist, opera singer, star athlete and actor Paul Robeson. He was a political activist inspired by the egalitarian anti-racism ethics of Marxism and had strong communist sympathies. This resulted in his being blacklisted from American culture and in 1950 his passport was revoked due to his work with the anti-imperialism movement. Hopefully this tomato will help re-popularize his story.
