Paul Robeson: The Courageous Journey
Some individuals are so painfully ahead of their times. When coupled with genius they are the visionaries, singled out by God or some force of Nature to shatter the outmoded paradigms of their contemporaries. They are special incarnations, singular gifts from some aspect of God that we only dimly understand if at all. In this category, I most certainly put Paul Robeson, American actor, singer, scholar, athlete and political activist.
