Synopsis

Paul Robeson’s resounding bass-baritone voice captivated audiences, especially when singing the spirituals he had heard at church and folk songs he had gathered from many countries. But Robeson was more than an interpreter of song. He was passionate about the injustices found in the United States and throughout the world and refused to keep quiet. As a stage and film actor, he fought against stereotypical roles and widespread racism. Labeled a communist during the height of the Cold War, Robeson was stripped of his U.S. passport and found himself unable to earn a living. But Robeson never gave up or
gave in.

Acclaimed nonfiction writer Susan Goldman Rubin conducted extensive research, visiting key Robeson sites and working with noted Robeson scholars, to bring to life one of the most important voices in American history.
