I'm low-key obsessed with Paul Robeson's story right now 
! Like, can you even believe he was an All-American football player and graduated from Columbia Law School? 
The dude was a total trailblazer, but sadly his legacy got kinda... lost in the shadows 
. I'm so glad some people are starting to speak out about him now and give him the recognition he deserves 
.
And can we talk about how his story still feels super relevant today?
Like, with all the controversy around teaching Black history and literature in schools right now, it's like Robeson's story is being erased again 
. We need to make sure we remember the sacrifices of people like him who fought for justice and equality 
.
I'm also loving how the author is drawing parallels between Robeson's story and what's going on in American politics right now
. It's like, we can't just ignore the past or pretend like everything is okay when it's not 
. We need to confront our own biases and work towards a more just and equal America
