April 9th is Paul Robeson Day!!! So if you haven't heard of someone that could do it all in life then you have not heard of Paul Robeson. Not only was this man an amazing athlete, actor, singer, and lawyer, but he was also super active against racism and was an activist all over the world. An absolutely amazing and passionate man, definitely take some time today to learn more about him and if you get a chance definitely read his biography, "Here I Stand" as well. Thank you Mr. Robeson for all of your contributions and inspiration! Please click the link below and learn more about Paul Robeson. :-)

"As an artist I come to sing, but as a citizen, I will always speak for peace, and no one can silence me in this." - Paul Robeson
