The auction will benefit the Paul Robeson House and Museum, the last place where Robeson - an actor, social activist, singer, football star and orator - lived with his sister for 10 years before his death in 1976. The house was renovated as a space for community and cultural events, many of which are regularly held there. Two floors contain an exhibit chronicling Robeson's life, allowing visitors to walk in the footsteps of the man who was called "the tallest tree in the forest." The auction fundraiser will also include "Hello Dolly Tea Party," items. Lovely porcelain dolls along with vintage teapots and cups/saucers along with some of the proceeds donated to the Robeson House will be up for auction.
