Nikita Khrushchev

    Black and white photo of Nikita Khrushchev in 1963. Khrushchev is distinguished by his bald head and bulbous face. He wears a dark suit and dark tie; a row of medals appears chest-high on the right side of his jacket. He holds assorted papers in his hands.

    Paul Robeson and W.E.B. Du Bois were toasted by Nikita Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, at a 1958 New Year’s Eve gala they attended in the Kremlin. Robeson’s public support for the Soviet Union was unwavering.
