545        |a Paul LeRoy Bustill Robeson (1898-1976) was the leading anti-racism campaigner and human rights activist in the 1930s and 1940s in the USA, and identified with victims of tyranny and oppression around the world. He was a forerunner of black consciousness and awareness, and the first African-American to insist on playing dignified roles in films. He was also one of the world's leading bass-baritone concert singers of his era, as well as an internationally acclaimed actor and orator. Robeson lived in London with his family throughout the 1930s, and in 1934 registered at SOAS for classes in Swahili and phonetics.
