Paul Robeson’s voice carried across stages and countries, but his life was about more than fame.
This biography introduces readers to Robeson as a scholar, athlete, actor, singer, and civil rights activist. Born in 1898, he learned early to value words, pride, and standing up for what he believed was right.
