Due to Lee’s increasing civil rights activism & connection to progressive causes, he soon found himself the target of anti-communist hysteria & with the FBI's investigation of him, he was blacklisted. When asked to identify a friend as a communist to drop the blacklisting, Lee refused. #history

After nearly 100 professional matches, Canada Lee hung up his gloves. He dabbled as a bandleader, traveling from club to club, before in 1934, stumbling upon something new: the stage. In 1936, he was cast by Orson Welles as Banquo in an extremely successful production of Macbeth. #acting #history
