Hear the Music of an American Cultural Icon

Hear the release of rare Paul Robeson vocal recordings from the Charles L. Blockson Collections of African Americana and the African Diaspora featured on Penn State’s Alumni Library at www.alumni.libraries.psu.edu

Actor, concert singer, professional athlete, lawyer, and social activist, Robeson was one of the most important American cultural icons in the twentieth century. 
The current issue of the Alumni Library also features one of the first forestry schools in the nation, the Pennsylvania State Forest Academy (now Penn State Mont Alto) and how it shaped the state’s environmental history. Regular features include resource centers with information on agriculture, business, careers, genealogy and more.
