GEN. ROSCOE ROBINSON, JR.
In the summer of 1947, Roscoe Robinson entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he was one of a small number of African-Americans admitted. Robinson took away many things from West Point: a first-rate education (graduating with a bachelor’s of science in engineering); leadership skills; a love for athletics; a deep respect for the Academy; and the lifelong camaraderie of his classmates. His graduating class also included four other African-Americans, which, at that time, was the largest number of African-American cadets ever to graduate from the Academy.
