Paul Robeson was born on April 8, 1898. This year, 2023, we celebrate the 125th anniversary of Paul Robeson's birth.

Join Erika Gorder as she explores the life of Paul Robeson, one of Rutgers's most distinguished alumni and a true renaissance man.  She will trace the contours of Paul Robeson's remarkable life growing up in New Jersey and his illustrious careers as actor and singer, as well as his outspoken global activism as a champion of equality and humanity throughout the world. While covering his entire life and career, this talk places particular emphasis on Robeson's early years within the context of the black experience in New Jersey, his time "on the banks," and his early career in New York City during the Harlem Renaissance.

At the conclusion of the program please feel free to take a brief online survey here: https://www.projectoutcome.org/responses/67452
