I am from Chicago and as a young person I really enjoyed seeing him on the news. He was nice looking and a joy to watch. Max Robinson was intelligent, compassionate and a pioneer. Rest Well...job well done.

Yes, my mom had the biggest crush on Max Robinson. She still has his newspaper obituary from 1988...

I remember watching him as a kid in Chicago on the news. Before there was a Lester Holt, Don Lemon, Bryant Gumble there was Max Robinson. Great story.

A movie should be made about this brother

Not only do you talk about street legends but you also talk about prominent black figures that we should know about which shows versatility. Keep the content coming I’ll keep coming back thank you.

As a child born and raised in DC, I remember him being a constant on the news my parents watched. He was Black, Handsome and he looked like us, he was well loved and respected in Chocolate City. Even though he was reluctant to accept his ground breaking success as the first his fans in DC and I’m sure Chicago remember him for exactly that. The Black community trusted him and we still celebrate his success and life. Rest In Peace, Mr. Robinson.

Absolutely! Articulate and dignified......

His voice was powerful an was made for radio an TV...r.i.p MAX Definitely a real one that deserves so much more recognition

He was the reason I watched the news, at that time. I took an interest of "How things work in this industry". He's a hero for knocking down barriers. Never, will he be forgotten.

You've enlightened me today. I've never heard of this fearless, remarkable trailblazer. We need to hear more stories like this. Rest peacefully Mr Robinson.

I thought he was definitely one of the better looking anchormen (Grimsby was another favorite; his deadpan was priceless)!

I remember when Max Robinson was the Chicago anchor for ABC News as part of their "World News Tonight" program in the 1970s. That was a really big deal then. He and Ed Bradley of CBS News were the first 2 African American journalists on the national level that came into my consciousness at that time.

They did our people so wrong. He overcame it all and was successful. And look at us now. The best talent in every category. I love to see my black people shine. Great story bro 💯💪🏾

I remembered him and he was a very articulate man Sad story

Wow, thank you so much for sharing the story of this great man, Max Robinson. I definitely remember him as a child watching the news with my parents I didn’t know too much about him but thank you for sharing. He was definitely a trailblazer, and he needs to be praised for his efforts. Being the first is not easy, but he broke through. God bless him and his family.💕☺️💯

Great content. I remember Max Robinson from ABC. He was super talented but like all of us had his troubles and gone far too soon.

My parents watched Max every evening. Well done. Thanks.

Its sad what black men had to go through in America up until this very day and they still having a problem giving us what's owed, reparations. They tried to bury this man's legacy, but it takes us to tell our unspoken heroes' stories so kudos to you for doing a story about him b/c i never heard of him until today. We cannot forget our ancestors who path the way for us. Thank you for telling Max Robinson's story king!

This is wonderful!!! Max Robinson was the reason I wanted to be a journalist. This video has made my day!! I appreciate you sharing. He was a class act and stood up for what he believed in.Very regal.He always looked cool as a cucumber on the air.I watched him everyday as a child and later, as teenager in the mid 1980s. He made me feel like all thing are possible. I remember when he died in 1988 and it made national news.I remember being very sad. I was 18 years old at the time. Great video.I love it!!!

What a beautiful intelligent strong man. Thank you Mr. Max Robinson rest in heavenly peace King

I remember his voice from childhood. What an amazing man. Thank for sharing his story. He died in 88 and my mother and step-father would die of the same in 90 and 91. Those were rough years for alot of people.

Thanks for talking about this brother. Unfortunately he is not mentioned enough. The focus seemed to be on the Gumbel brothers (Bryant and Greg) and not on this man and his positive contributions to our people.

Wow, My Mother loved to watch him on ABC news when I was a kid. He was a great news correspondent. SIHP Mommy & The late Max Robinson

Gone but never forgotten. Excellent work.

He crawled so future generations could run I respect this man thank u Max Rest in peace🕊

I only watched ABC news because of Mr Max. His last speech made me cry.RIP dear brother. Thanks for honoring our brother with this video.

I knew him as Uncle Max. His story is an interesting one. Strange to here someone reporting on your childhood memories. Thank you for sharing. All true.

Host, your voice, your commentaries, your stories are on point. This one right here is number one for me because I loved Max Robinson. I was a little girl when he came on the scene, and I was blown away. Keep up the good work.

I’ve heard about him and it made me sad how he died. I was a child when he passed. He definitely a Trail Blazer for AA men and women in journalism. Excellent commentary.❤

11:23 I remember him. Much respect for standing up to ABC and racism and insisting that the positives of black life be shown. Thank you Mr Robinson

Great coverage. Thank you. Max was the GOAT of journalism.

Learning my black history

Wow I love your content. This is beautiful. 😍 I never heard of Mr. Max Robinson ❤️ he's beautiful, brave,& courageous. I wanna know more about him. I appreciate love n admire your work. Thank you #EachOneTeachOne 🤎

This is why your channel is so important! I lived in Richmond for five years and have never heard this story before. When he said “Even though it’s clearly indicated that you can’t, you must try and find out for yourself whether you can” I felt that! Trailblazer not only in journalism, but for blacks working across so many different professions. Thanks again for sharing ❤️.

My favorite news anchor growing up. ABC did this brother wrong. RIP Mr Robinson

Rip to an extremely dedicated and intelligent man, against all odds made his dreams come true and paved the road for others like him🙏💯💪🤘👏👏👏

I remember this King and his situation like it was yesterday .RIP Mr Robinson ✊

Man me being born and raised in Richmond, VA I've never heard of Max Robinson. Such a trend setting Brother. God bless him and everyone in the Chat 🙏🙏😎😎

It’s hard being black in America. Judge me by my performance as a professional and strictly as a professional and not based on the color of my skin. Rest In Peace king.
