THE PAUL ROBESON HOUSE INITIATIVE
The Paul Robeson House initiative seeks to restore the historic home where Paul Robeson was born, and adapt the property to purposes consistent with Robeson’s transformational vision. Although many organizations and institutions honor aspects of Robeson’s achievements, the Paul Robeson House will be the first in New Jersey to focus exclusively on extending his human rights agenda into the 21st century. In keeping with Robeson’s legacy of activism and social justice, the Robeson House will serve as an international resource for individuals and organizations who share Robeson’s commitment to advocacy and human rights.
OUR MISSION
To promote social justice consistent with the values and actions of Princeton’s native son, Paul Robeson.
OUR VISION
Robeson’s birthplace will be a lasting tribute to his achievements and staunch commitment to social and racial justice. As a result, generations to come will have an appreciation for the rich African American culture in Princeton and globally.
