Dr.+Edward+Robinson


 * By Ade, grade 6**

Dr. Edward Robinson, Jr. was an outstanding man. He has made many films about racial prejudice and empowerment. He has worked with many other empowering people and has written a lot of books.

Dr. Ed Robinson, Jr. made a line of films called African Genesis. It was about how African -American men and women are portrayed as dying, trying to be funny and killing people on television, and that was all that they were seen as. The reason he did this is so he could make African American people aware of the film-makers and directors making Black actors do ridiculous things, which affects the Black community because they think that’s who they are.

Ed Robinson has worked with plenty of powerful people such as Queen Mother Falaka Fattah, Leon Sullivan, and Walter Palmer. The reason he worked with these people was so he could achieve his goals to alert all black people about what's going on. Some of the people he worked with just helped him with his films and books.

Obviously Dr. Edward Robinson would fight this battle for his people. It was very important that he tell his people what was going on and that's what the book the Songhi People is about. The Songhi was an ancient empire which had an empower-ing lineup of universities and professors, and fought for what they believed in. He also did research on the ancient City of Jenne. The city is part of the Songhi Empire. This is how Dr. Robinson got involved with Queen Mother Falaka Fattah and the House of Umoja. That's why the buildings on the block of the House of Umoja look like they are from a beautiful African city

In 2004 Dr. Edward Robinson, Jr. was awarded by the Philadelphia Public School District with the task of integrating African studies into the classes in public schools all over Philadelphia.

Sadly Dr. Edward Robinson’s battle for life is over but he will leave a legacy with us forever.
