The great singer, Paul Robeson was born in Princeton, New Jersey, USA on 9 April 1898. For Robeson as an African-American, the 'American Dream' was a nightmare. His father, William was a Presbyterian minister and a former slave; his mother, Maria was also descended from slaves.
And yet, it is difficult to think of any human being in the whole of history who was more multi-talented. At Rutgers College he was subjected to deliberate violence on the football field; his concerts were disrupted by the Ku Klux Klan; he was hounded by the government on account of his communist sympathies. At Rutgers he was admitted to the very highest academic societies: he subsequently played football in the newly-created NFL; he became acquainted with more than 40 languages, and played the piano.
He played 'Othello' at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon, and 'Joe' in the film, Show Boat.
