Canada Lee, American Actor

Lee as Bigger Thomas from Native Son. Canada Lee (March 3, 1907 - May 9, 1952) was an African-American actor. After careers as a jockey, boxer and musician, he became an actor in the Federal Theatre Project, including the 1936 production of Macbeth adapted and directed by Orson Welles.
