Whereas April 9, 1998, is the centennial of the birth of Paul

Whereas Paul Leroy Robeson lost his mother, Anna, in a
household fire, and was reared in humble circumstances
as 1 of 5 children in a single-parent household by his fa-

cus, shot put, football, and javelin, and, more impor-
tantly, was a member of both the Phi Beta Kappa and

Whereas Paul Leroy Robeson graduated from Columbia Law

ant to African-American lawyers that he embarked on a

Whereas Paul Leroy Robeson became an advocate for the
rights of African-Americans and other oppressed people,
and in so doing sacrificed his career as a world-renowned
actor and singer: Now, therefore, be it
