On Sunday, July 4th, 2021, I visited the grave-site of Colonel John Charles Robinson, buried in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He is the Father of Ethiopia Airlines, and also helped to keep Ethiopia free from colonization in the early 1900s.

Colonel Robinson was an African American (Aframerican), he was also a major supporter of the Tuskegee Airmen and later became a close friend of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie. His work in Ethiopia was known because of his public speeches in the USA and Europe to end colonization.
Contact me for more. I give virtual tours and talks on the Aframerican experience. [Images may be subject to copyright].
