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.
