PHILADELPHIA April 9th is always a special day at 4951 Walnut Street in Philly. It’s the date of Paul Robeson’s birthday, an occasion for remembrance and joy. It’s a time when people come together at the Paul Robeson House & Museum to celebrate the legacy of the multi-hyphenate renaissance man and global humanitarian.
In 2021, the commitments and contributions of Robeson could not be more relevant as we navigate a disproportionately-felt global COVID pandemic and organize against the ongoing legacies of racial and economic injustice. In these times, the model of Robeson reminds us that we must continue to stand in our principles, be bold in our visions, find resolve in studying histories of resistance, and cultivate radical solidarities in order to meet the responsibility of the moment.
