The above emblem describes the incident that took
place at the Robinson Riot on July 4, 1930.
The designer of the bell is Ricky Emanuel Robinson,
son of Emanuel Robinson, Jr., of Maywood, Illinois.
The
crack symbolizes the split when each family member went
to reside in different states. The drop represents
the blood shed of our relatives that lost their lives
during the riot. This family logo was adopted by
the family to be our emblem of unity at the July, 1984
reunion.
The phrase "LOVE WILL KEEP US
TOGETHER" was included in the symbol of the bell as
representation of the love and unity in the family.
Our
family colors are red and white. The red represents the
blood shed during the riot. The white represents
the color of clothes worn that day by dearly departed relatives
(white suit and shoes).
Be proud of this heritage and
wear the family colors and logo without shame or guilt???
It is yours. It is mine. It is ours. Uphold it for
yourself and those who shed their blood on that
historical day.
