Lecture: Morris "Dino" Robinson @ Wilmette Historical Museum
March 12, 2023 |
The museum welcomes speaker Morris “Dino” Robinson, founder
of Evanston’s Shorefront Legacy Center. Established in 1995, the Shorefront
Legacy Center is the North Shore’s only community archive for Black history and
provides many resources and stories surrounding the experiences of people of
color on the North Shore, such as documentation of discriminatory policies on
the North Shore that have ultimately played a key role in reparation work in
the area. A lifelong Evanston resident and recipient of several distinguished
awards for leadership and education, Mr. Robinson also helped create the
Reparations Stakeholders Authority of Evanston, as well as Evanston’s African
American heritage sites program.
