These could be the crowning achievements of a life well-lived, yet for Paul Robeson the higher calling of social justice led him to abandon the theater and Hollywood to become one of the most important political activists of his generation. Gerald Horne's biography uses Robeson's remarkable and revolutionary life to tell the story of the 20th century's great political struggles: against racism, against colonialism, and for international socialism. -- from back cover. 410 0$aRevolutionary lives. 606 $aAfrican American singers$vBiography 606 $aSingers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American actors$vBiography 606 $aPolitical activists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American civil rights workers$vBiography 608 $aBiographies$2lcgft 610 $aHistory 610 $aLondon 610 $aMoscow 610 $aUnited States 615 0$aAfrican American singers 615 0$aSingers 615 0$aAfrican American actors 615 0$aPolitical activists 615 0$aAfrican American civil rights workers 676 $a900 700 $aHorne$b Gerald$0850651 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137379003321 996 $aPaul Robeson$91970211 997 $aUNINA
