Captions and ephemera in English., Captions in the negatives., Melvin Charles Robinson (1917-1982) was an African American man who was born in Georgetown, Texas. He settled in Omaha, Nebraska in 1941, and married Edna L. Sawyer in 1956. Robinson joined the United States Army in 1941, trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama as a crewman, and was assigned to the 477th Bombardment Group (Medium) in 1944. Robinson also worked for the Union Pacific Railroad from 1941 until his retirement in 1979, and owned and operated Robinson's Florist in Omaha with his wife Edna from 1962 to 1978., Place and date of creation from captions., Purchased from William Reese Co. on the James Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection of Negro Arts & Letters Fund, 2018., The 477th Bombardment Group (Medium) of the United States Army Air Force was an African American combat unit first activated from May 13-August 25, 1943. The unit was activated again on January 15, 1944 and trained with Mitchell B-25 bombers in order to allow African American soldiers to serve on bomber crews. The group trained at Selfridge Field, later Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan; Godman Field, Kentucky; Freeman Field, Indiana; and again at Godman Field. The 477th endured racial discrimination from surrounding communities in Kentucky and Indiana, and on base from the commanders of the 477th and the First Air Force. In 1945 more than 100 officers of the 477th engaged in an act of collective resistance that came to be known as the Freeman Field Mutiny. The events eventually led to a change of command for the 477th and it was moved back to Godman Field, this time under a Black commander, Colonel (later General) Benjamin O. Davis. The 477th Bomber Group was redesignated the 477th Composite Group after the 99th Fighter Squadron, another African American combat unit, was incorporated into it in 1945., and Title from cover.
