[edit] Behind the scenes

Paul Robeson was supposed to appear as a 7 year-old boy in the unproduced The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episode "Princeton, May 1905", and here his relationship with Indy would be introduced.^[3] Though this story was not produced, the idea of Indy being friends with Paul Robeson resurfaced in the bridging material of the broadcast version of Young Indiana Jones: Travels with Father, and a new segment created as a conclusion to Winds of Change. In these two productions, Robeson was portrayed by actor Kevin Jackson.
