In the early 1970s, Compton’s Communicative Arts Academy opened as a space for Black artists to explore diverse art forms, leading to the founding of the Paul Robeson Players. Named after the renowned activist and entertainer Paul Robeson, this theater group became a hub for performance, directing, and writing, uniting the Compton community and creating a lasting legacy in Black theater.
