Produktbeschreibung

Two Ropes is a carefully written true story about how a young Negro family realized success with the combined support derived from quiet friendships between Blacks and Whites existing in their strongly segregated hometown.

Bernard and Shirley Robinson participated in constructive efforts to penetrate and eliminate racial barriers in their Southern hometown by successfully integrating their respective local university and high school. Their successes were aided by key quiet friendships and collaborations between Negro and Caucasian supporters. In those days, open friendships between Whites and Negro people were not politically healthy for anyone and could even be dangerous.

Two Ropes reveals and honors some of those risky friendships in an illustrative and inspirational manner. The book is an easy read, making the point of how much greater America could be if all Americans were free to associate and contribute to the best of their innate abilities without prejudice.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Robinson is the current (2016-2017) President of the Hawaii Medical Association. 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).
