Paul Robeson was one of the most influential Americans from his rise to international fame in the 1920s until he was politically blacklisted during the McCarthy era. A true Renaissance man, he excelled in his youth as a scholar, athlete and artist. He used his fame and platform for the economic and political advancement of subjugated people around the world.
