For now beat on the outer drum with a rubber hammer with penetrating oil on the hub. From there if no luck beat on it with a small hand sledge hammer at the risk of destroying the drum. Rock it back and forth and it will be removable.

It's probably rust not the shoes holding it. There may be a slot that is removable with a punch that would allow you to either adjust brakes or retract them.

DON'T BREATHE THE BRAKE DUST IT'S NASTY!!!!

This may cause some damage to the brake hardware which is cheap so just rreplace it, Good luck, T
