Paul Robeson & The Douglass-Lincoln Debates at Harriet Tubman Theater, National Underground Railroad Freedom Center

TWO NIGHTS & ONE MATINE!! Two NEW one-acts! Paul Robeson stars former Cincinnati City Councilman Wendell Young as Robeson sings "Ol' Man River," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and others. Robeson’s cheerful defiance, humor, and courage defeat racism on the Rutgers University football team and on Wall Street. Robeson's will to live life on his own terms bolstered by his extraordinary singing and acting leads to Eugene O'Neill’s All God's Chillun Got Wings on Broadway. The Douglass-Lincoln Debates by Douglas D. Miron stars Steffon Sharpless as abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass; playwright Miron portrays President Abraham Lincoln in this uplifting educational fact-based drama about two great men who inspired Americans during the darkest days of the Civil War and who, despite their differences, worked together for the good of all Americans and to save our nation.
