Paul Robeson was a multi-talented African-American singer, actor, and activist born on April 9, 1898, in Princeton, New Jersey. He rose to prominence in the early 20th century as a renowned baritone vocalist with a deep and powerful voice. Robeson also made a significant impact as an actor, starring in both stage productions and films, most notably in the groundbreaking role of Othello. Beyond his artistic achievements, Robeson was a passionate advocate for civil rights and social justice. He used his platform to speak out against racism and discrimination, becoming a prominent figure in the fight for equality.
