Paul Robeson – African-American bass-baritone, stage and film actor, All-American football player, lawyer, and advocate for civil rights – was outspoken against racism, colonialism, and social injustice. Rutgers graduate, scholar of world cultures, and speaker of more than 20 languages, he worked tirelessly to break down political and racial barriers, and to build bridges be­tween the peoples of this world. In July 1950, the US State Department revoked the blacklisted artist’s passport thus preventing him from pursuing his successful international career as a singer and actor. But international au­diences continued to honor and call out for him, and he found technologically advanced and effective ways to reach his communities all over the world.
