Celebrate the life and music of Paul Robeson at the Paramount Hudson Valley Theatre in Peekskill. All-American Football star, Valedictorian Phi-Beta Kapa Rutgers 1919, Columbia trained lawyer, world-renowned actor, and globally celebrated bass-baritone­­––Robeson used his voice in speech and song in the fight for equal rights in the US and in solidarity with disenfranchised people everywhere. Targeted by the House Un-American Activities Committee, he lost his passport, career, and health­­––but never his loyalty to his convictions.
