He and his wife, Shirley, were raised in racially segregated Plant City, Florida. In spite of substantial racial barriers, history proved them both to be successful integrationists who made friends regardless of race or religion. They left Plant City for medical school in Washington D.C. in the summer of 1969 after their wedding. Their church wedding in the Negro section of Plant City was attended by Blacks and Whites which was previously not seen in the history of the town. They continue to pursue life as a team and have enjoyed admirable successes in the face of formidable challenges. They both value building positive relationships at the individual level as a means of improving our country’s racial problems. Dr. Robinson became the first Negro trained to be a neurosurgeon by the U.S. military (June 1980).view less
