Paul Robeson Jr. (November 2, 1927 - April 26, 2014) was Paul and Essies only child.

He was born in Brooklyn, NY and as a young boy lived with his grandmother in Moscow where his parents sought to protect him from American racism.

He attended school with the daughter of Joseph Stalin. He admired his father, shared his political views, and for more than twenty years served as his fathers personal aid. "I follow in my father's cultural tradition, and like him, I am a Black radical."
