| Summary |
Lends a biography of early twentieth century singer and actor Paul Robeson, discussing the entertainer's career, his political activism, and his personal struggles. Explains how Robeson used his public profile to speak out on civil rights issues, and how his sympathy for communism drew the ire of the federal government, who revoked his passport and rejection by organizations that stifled his entertainment career. However, Robeson continued to support civil rights issues and never wavered in his deeply held beliefs. |
