also to encourage African-Americans not to let racists drag down their self-worth<\/a>. \u201cThis … more important aspect of the evil can be met through closer union and conscious educational enlightenment among the minority,\u201d he wrote, \u201cand so emancipation of the soul of the minority can be attained.\u201d<\/p>\nPurposely left out of American History books, Einstein had close relationships with many African American leaders and civil rights activists. Einstein was very close friends WEB Dubois, Marian Anderson and especially Paul Robeson, who also lived in Princeton. Einstein worked closely with Robeson on the American Crusade to End Lynching, in response to an upsurge in racial murders as black soldiers returned home in the aftermath of World War II. Einstein served as co-chair of the ACEL organization.\u00a0He invited Marian Anderson to stay at his home when the singer was refused a room at the Nassau Inn because of the color of her skin.\u00a0 Until his death, Einstein remained a very vocal civil rights activist and member of the NAACP.<\/p>\n
