Mississippi Delta Man - Roosevelt Jack Robinson.mov
Loading...
Uploaded by thedeltabohemian on Dec 30, 2011
The Delta Bohemians were invited to attend a celebration in Friars Point, Mississippi on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 10th. The event honored Mr. Roosevelt "Jack" Robinson for his enduring contributions to the Friars Point community, his church, his family and friends.
Jack, or "Bruh Robinson," as he is affectionately known by many who love him, is the father to eight children and a host of grandchildren. As was evident during the tribute, he is loved by his community, his family, his fellow Masons, his church, and a large number of folks who have benefited from his goodness, wisdom and desire to serve others.
One of Jack's daughters, Clara Thompson Lockett, works with Poor William at the Clark House Residential Inn located in downtown Clarksdale.
The Delta Bohemian pieced together a multimedia sampling of event highlights and below is a copy of an article written about the tribute published in Friday's edition of the Clarksdale Press Register (CPR), now out on the newsstands or located at www.pressregister.com. We encourage folks who like to be informed about the "happenings" in Clarksdale and Coahoma County to subscribe to the CPR.

Congratulations to Uncle Jack!! He is the sweetest man I know that loves the Lord and his family. He always have a small on his face no matter what he's going through because he knows the Lord will see him through. Congrats once again Uncle Jack for a well deserved award. God blesses His servants. Selah...(your niece Poonie)
