Synopsis

The popular For Beginners series takes on one of the most important figures of the American Civil Rights movement. Not just fighting against segregation and racism, Paul Robeson aimed to advance the civil rights of all Americans, most famously by standing up to McCarthyism in the1950s. Paul Robeson's life is all the more astonishing for having also been a singer, actor and NFL player. Written in short, humorous and informative chapters and laced with lively drawings, readers are told the story of an important life lived with passion, anger and love.
