My grandfather was born that same year, 1898. It's interesting that you admired Robeson for his Civil Rights activism in spite of the fact that he was a supporter of Stalin and a denier of the atrocities he wrought. I never knew anyone who spoke 20 different languages. It boggles the mind. I enjoyed Robeson's performance of "Old Man River" in the 1936 film Showboat. The "B roll" cutaway sequences are striking.<br /><br />Thank you for teaching me about this complex 20th century super achiever, dear friend BB. Have a great day and I'll see you tamale!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.com
