(Robeson, Paul). PAUL ROBESON SOUVENIR BOOK.
NY Columbia Concerts, Inc. n.d. (1945) First edition Original stapled pictorial wrappers, 8.5 x 11 inches, (16)pp. B/w photos throughout showing Robeson in his various roles as actor and singer, as well as photos from his college days and home life Creases to covers, pinholes at upper corners, separation at top of spine. Still a very presentable and clean copy of this rare and fragile souvenir of the extraordinary Paul Robeson AUTOGRAPHED BY PAUL ROBESON in the margin of the last page; a full-page photo of Robeson in his library sporting the beard he grew for his stage portrayal of Othello. Also autographed by African-American pianist and composer, Lawrence Brown, Robeson's accompanist and arranger. The son of a runaway slave, Paul Robeson (1898-1976) was probably the best-known black figure in the US in the early to mid-twentieth century. A true renaissance man, he was graduate of Rutgers University, where he excelled in 4 sports, a graduate of Columbia Law School, an actor, singer, and outspoken advocate for civil rights. Robeson spent considerable time in Europe and was sympathetic to the Soviet Union, which resulted in the State Department revoking his passport (from 1950-1958). Paul Robeson played a formative role in the development of the black protest movement of the 1960s, and his refusal to compromise on political and racial issues effectively ended his career as a commercially successful artist.
