Praise for Paul Robeson: No One Can Silence Me : “Before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, Paul Robeson used his gifted baritone voice not only for concerts and theater around the world but to call out racial injustice in his home country. . . . Duberman balances Robeson’s tireless civil rights work with his marital troubles and later mental-health problems. Numerous photographs throughout help document Robeson’s robust life. A powerful tribute to this #BlackLivesMatter predecessor.” — Booklist (starred review) “A history of a global luminary figure that serves as a reminder of the courageous freedom-fighting work in front of us.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Although Paul Robeson’s story is impressive (you’ll see!) and explains why his name seems to lift off the tongues of all who say it, what his life really serves as is perhaps the greatest reminder of the possibilities of a single person.” — Jason Reynolds, from the foreword “Paul Robeson: No One Can Silence Me shines a light on one of the giants whom history tried to minimize, and references our current context throughout the book. Duberman makes it clear that Paul Robeson and his story are as relevant and important as ever.” — Thomas Nikundiwe, director of the Education for Liberation Network “Paul Robeson is a true hero everyone should learn about and Martin Duberman has done us all a great service by bringing Robeson’s story to young adult readers. This book should be taught in schools nationwide.” — Wayne Au, education professor, co-editor of Teaching for Black Lives and editor of Rethinking Schools magazine ...
