CADV: Robinson was a mentor, teacher of activism
Colin Robinson
The Coalition against Domestic Violence (CADV) has said the late activist Colin Robinson was a teacher and mentor of activism and extended its condolences to his family, friends and the activist and artistic communities.
Robinson, who was also a Newsday columnist, died on March 4 after a long battle with colon cancer.
In a release on Monday, the coalition said Robinson was a lovely person.
“He was wise; he was insightful; he inspired; he was a hard head and he was joyful. He believed in solidarity and would listen to all ideas about how to make change for social justice, asking the hard questions about strategy, with a gentle tone and generous spirit.”
