Born
Paul Robeson was an All-American college football player who played professionally in the NFL while studying law at Columbia, briefly worked as a lawyer, then became a celebrated concert singer and stage actor, famous for Ol' Man River and his London Othello. His civil rights and left-wing activism led the US government to revoke his passport in the 1950s, effectively ending his performing career at home.
