The Life of Paul Robeson: Actor, Singer, Political Activist
Hardcover
(Enslow Pub Inc Sept. 1, 2014)
Author David K. Wright tells the story of an exceptional entertainer who devoted his life to the causes of civil rights and equality. Paul Robeson, born 1898, was a two-time All-American football player and a law-school graduate in an era that offered few opportunities for African-Americans. He went on to win international acclaim as a singer and actor, breaking through barriers both on stage and in his life. Robeson refused to compromise his integrity or to be told what African-Americans could or could not do. Robeson's career as a singer and actor suffered when the U.S. government accused him of being a communist.
