Emery Robinson

In the summer of 1979, a promising young man's life was cut short in the quiet, affluent village of Pelham Manor, just north of the Bronx. Emery Robinson, an eighteen-year-old, was shot and killed by a local police officer on July 19th of that year. The incident began when Officer John B. Robbins stopped Robinson under the suspicion that the car he was driving was stolen. What transpired next would leave a lasting mark on the community and raise questions about justice and race.
