Paul Robeson was a towering cultural and political figure who used his voice—both literal and ideological—as a weapon in the global fight against racism, fascism, and imperialism. A world-renowned singer, actor, and athlete, Robeson rejected the comforts of fame to stand with the working class and the oppressed, from Black sharecroppers in the U.S. South to anti-colonial movements across Africa and the Caribbean. He saw culture not as escape, but as a battleground, and believed that the role of the artist was to be an uncompromising witness and participant in struggle. A committed socialist and internationalist, Robeson spoke out against U.S. apartheid, supported the Soviet Union in its fight against fascism, and denounced colonialism before the United Nations when few dared to do so. For this, he was persecuted, silenced, and surveilled—but never broken. His life is a model of revolutionary discipline and integrity, reminding us that art, when rooted in the people, becomes a force capable of shaking empires.
