In 1920, the highest-paid African American entertainer was Paul Robeson. Renowned for his powerful baritone voice and commanding stage presence, Robeson achieved significant fame as a singer, actor, and civil rights activist. His success in theater, particularly in productions like "Othello," and his concert performances contributed to his status and financial success during that era.
