Exhibit Opening: "A Prologue to the Chapters that Follow"

The library, the Paul Robeson House of Princeton and other community partners honor the memory of Paul Robeson with an exhibit focusing on his relationship with his native Princeton

This exhibition, developed in partnership with the Historical Society of Princeton, the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical & Cultural Society and the Paul Robeson House of Princeton to mark the 125th anniversary of his birth, uses Robeson’s own words to examine both sides of the Robeson-Princeton relationship and its evolution throughout his life.

Stephanie Schwartz, curator of collections and research at the Historical Society of Princeton, and library staff will be on hand to answer questions about the exhibit that will remain on view in the second floor Princeton Room during library hours through April 30.
