On a hoarding (one panel of a mural by the People's Museum Somers Town), Phoenix Road, Somers Town. The illustration depicts noted area residents Mary Wollstonecraft, her husband William Godwin and daughter Mary Shelley, along with Paul Robeson.

Paul Robeson often came to London, where he found more acceptance of his communist views than in the U.S. In 1959, he was the first black performer to sing at St Paul's Cathedral.
