Who is Paul Robeson

I had took the time to do research on Paul Robeson. Paul Leroy Bustill Robeson was born on April 9, 1898 and died on January 23, 1976. His father William Drew Robeson 1 was a minister and his mother Maria Louisa Bustill died in a horrible fire when he was only six. Paul Robeson had to go through many struggle being as though he was born during the time period of Racism. He did not let the racism stop him from what he wanted to do. He was taught and encourage by his brother that he can do any thing that white people to. His family had relocated and he went to Summerville High school and graduated with honors. He won a full academic scholarship to Rutgers University he did good the and was class valedictorian. Also he went to Columbia Law school where he did good as well. Paul Robeson had many talents including being a professional athlete, writer, multi-lingual, orator, lawyer and basso profound concert singer who was noted for his wide-ranging activities in social justice. Paul served as assistant coach at Lincoln University. Paul was hired at a law firm in New York but quit because a white secretary refused to take orders because of his skin color. Robeson played a many of stage plays back in his time. He married Eslanda Cardozo Goode and they had one son together name Paul Robeson Jr. Paul Jr keeps up with the legacy of his father. Paul Robeson has a high school name after him called Paul Robeson High school for Human Resources located at 4125 Ludlow street. Paul Robeson was a very powerful and determine individual. No matter what racial problems he had he did not le that hold him back from what he wanted to do. Paul Robeson should be a perfect example for many African American men because there are still people out who are trying to hold black men back and have them thinking that they can not accomplish things but they have to be strong and determine just like Paul Robeson was. If he was still living today he would be a major impact on a lot of people.
