The CSU Legacy
The
Paul Robeson Legacy
The
Central State University campus pays tribute to Paul
Robeson, a true renaissance man whose achievements won him world renown.
Robeson was a scholar and a gifted athlete. He was an attorney, an acclaimed
actor, and one of the finest bass-baritone singers the nation has known.
He could speak and write and sing in 20 different languages, and he
used his talents to speak out against racism and economic injustice.
The Paul
Robeson Center for Music and the Performing Arts is fronted by an
impressive sculpture, presented to the University by major benefactors
Bill and Camille Cosby.
A mural of Robeson's
life, painted by Jon
Onye Lockard, is a feature of the main lobby. Entitled "The
Tallest Tree in the Forest," it is a multi-image presentation of
the different stages in Robeson's life.
