Patricia F. Robinson embodies the cultural history of the wonderful place called Bedford-Stuyvesant. Her mother, as you will hear in the below video, started a local music school 79 years ago, and that place of aural learning endures to this day.
Such continuity!
But Robinson does not want to see that kind of continuity in her elected officials.
She believes incumbent City Councilman Al Vann has been in office too long (having served 35 years in elective office, most of it as Assemblyman before switching jobs with then Councilmember Annette Robinson).
And so Music Director Robinson is now playing the renegade in Bed-Stuy's exciting City Council primary race.
She's throwing her enthusiastic energies behind Robert E. Cornegy, Jr., son of a popular minister, about whom you'll hear more in the brief video below.
Robinson says life is music, and music (as any musician knows) needs changes.
