The Paul Robeson Mural: Alonzo Adams's Brush with Greatness

The world is a better place because #AlonzoAdams MGSA’84 failed calculus. He planned to study engineering at Rutgers, but his artistic talent took root. Now, it’s prominently displayed in the form of a new mural at SHI Stadium, featuring the legacy of fellow alumnus Paul Robeson RC1919—the celebrated athlete, singer, and activist. “I didn’t know the man he was when I got to Rutgers, but I found out the giant that he was—the humanitarian, the man who fought for peace, the athlete, the celebrity, the activist,” says Adams. “I want his image to be magnified.”
