Homer C. Robinson was affectionately known as “Mr. Robb” or “Coach Robb” by many members of the
Montclair community. He was born in Elizabeth, NJ on April 21, 1937 and grew up in Vauxhall, NJ. He
was a graduate of Union High School in 1955 and served in the United States military as a commissioned
officer in the army through ROTC at Morgan State (College) University. During his college years he was a
talented player on the Morgan State football team and an active member of the Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity, Inc. He graduated from Morgan State University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in health
and physical education.
In 1964, Mr. Robb began his tenure in the Montclair Public Schools. He was a health and physical
education teacher at Hillside (Grammar) School for a number of years and then transitioned to the same
role at Montclair High School. He took a short break from teaching to serve as the director at the South
West School for a short period of time before returning to teaching health and physical education at
Montclair High School. Homer Robinson was a key figure in the Montclair High School Varsity lacrosse
team becoming the first lacrosse dynasty in the Northeast region of the United States. He coached the
Varsity lacrosse team alongside Gil Gibbs; and served as the JV Head Coach with an astonishing final
record of 110 wins and 11 losses over a ten-year span. He led the JV lacrosse team to eight consecutive
JV State Championships from 1971 to 1978. Homer Robinson was initiated into the New Jersey Lacrosse
Hall of Fame as their “Man of the Year”, posthumously, in 1999.
Coach Robb was also the defensive coordinator for the Montclair High School varsity football team from
1968 to 1998 and coached many teams to the NJ Football State Championship. As a result of his
dedication to the Montclair High School Football program, he helped four new head coaches make
successful transitions into the Mounties program. As a teacher and coach - Mr. Robb most notably
touched the lives of so many who attended the Montclair Public Schools. For generations of students
and athletes in Montclair, his brand of tough love and his passion for family, faith, and love placed him
in the “gap” for many students of all races, colors, and creeds as a father-figure, role model, and
mentor. He served the Montclair Public Schools as a health and physical education teacher, driver’s
education instructor, lacrosse and football coach, track and field timekeeper, table tennis club advisor,
and department chair of the physical education department. He retired from the Montclair Public
Schools in 1996.
Mr. Robb was a man of faith and believed in the power of prayer and the love of God. He was a member
of St. Paul Baptist Church in Montclair and served faithfully on the usher board. He was an avid sports
fan and would never pick a favorite team, he always just wanted “to see a good game.” Homer C.
Robinson was blessed with four beautiful children - Mrs. Dawn L. Taylor (Robinson), Mr. Darrow N.
Robinson, Mr. Todd C. Robinson, and Dr. Kimberly Robinson Santos. He was also the doting grandfather
to six grandchildren - Dr. Kera C. Street, Paul E. Taylor III, Taqi N. Robinson, Michael A. Santos, Jr., Sydnie

In 1916, a small group of black townspeople came together to protest the atrocities being
perpetrated against members of their race, and the Montclair Branch NAACP was born.
This was 7 years after the National Organization was founded. The first President was Rev.
Fred Handy, pastor of St. Mark’s Methodist Church. Mrs. Atlanta Lipscomb was elected
secretary, and Albert Terry became the first Treasurer. In the ensuing years, Presidents
were Dr. Edgar S. Ballou, Mrs. Mary Allen, Arthur Williams, George Wibecan, Leo Marsh,
Joseph Green, George Rice, George Palmer, Mrs. Octavia Carlett, Dr. Ferdinand Williams,
Richard Johnson, Raoul Howard, Rev. Marvin A McMickle, Mrs. Garvice Reid, James E.
Harris, W. Shirley Davenport, Albertus Jenkins, Ms. Patricia Sturdivant-Little, James E.
Harris, David Heron, Beverly A Bussey, Ruth C. Taylor, and currently, Thomas L. Reynolds,
Albert E. Pelham, Roger Terry, and Diane Anglin. In the 1960’s, the branch questioned the
adequacy of an under populated junior high school and joined with Parents School
Emergency committee to lead the three-day boycott and demonstration which was
successful in achieving token school integration. In 1966, community frustration and
impatience over the slowness in correcting quality and racial balance in the education
system, resulted in cour suit. The suit resulted in policies regarding de-facto segregation in
school districts. The Montclair NAACP continues to monitor the educational system and
respond to issues that affect the quality of education through its Education Committee. The
Montclair Branch has influenced the election of black persons to position in local
government, the revision of the structure of municipal government, urban renewal, senior
citizen housing, health services and voter education/registration. The Montclair Youth
Council makes it possible for local youth to become actively involved in the struggle for civil
rights at the local, regional, state and national levels. The Branch has organized and
implemented S.A.T. preparation workshops for high school students and sponsored a Youth
Speak-Out Forum in 1988, in an effort to encourage young adults to express their concerns
and develop resolutions for problems facing them. The annual Martin Luther King Day
celebration is open to all citizens of the community. Annually, the Montclair branch awards
two scholarships to two senior students within the Montclair area. The Branch has formed
coalitions with fraternal and community groups and organizations to sponsor forums and
activities of interest to members and the community. In addition, the Branch has found an
increasing number of opportunities to support the programs of local groups, whose efforts
are in concert with the ideals and mission of the NAACP. In recent years, the Branch has
worked closely with the National Council on Negro Women, Inc (NCNW), The League of
Women Voters, The Montclair Senior Housing Corporation, The Montclair Neighborhood
Development Corporation, The Fourth Ward Collaborative, the Urban League, local
sororities, fraternities and churches. Members of the Branch represent the NAACP on
various community boards and committees. The Thurgood Marshall Freedom Fund Dinner
and Awards Ceremony marks that time of year when the Montclair Branch NAACP honors
those members of the organization and community who have consistently contributed their
time and effort towards fostering the goal and mission of the NAACP in the continuing
struggle for civil and human rights.

Born in Concord, North Carolina, Mrs. Eddy’s passion for education was nurtured from the
very beginning. Growing up in a household where learning was cherished, her mother was
dedicated school teacher and instilled in her the values of hard work, service, and academic
excellence. These early lessons set Mrs. Eddy on a lifelong journey of learning and mentorship.
With a career spanning over three decades, Mrs. Eddy devoted her life to shaping young minds
and creating pathways for success. She began her academic journey at North Carolina Central
University in Durham, earning her degree in education. Her thirst for knowledge led her to
pursue graduate studies at Jersey City State in New Jersey and further specialize in early
childhood education at Seton Hall University.
Before stepping into the classroom, Mrs. Eddy gained invaluable experience as a cottage
supervisor at a women’s prison in Clinton, New Jersey. This role honed her skills in mentorship
and guidance, preparing her for a remarkable teaching career. Her official journey as an educator
commenced with the Newark Board of Education, but her true calling emerged in Montclair
when she was personally recruited by the esteemed Dr. Patterson. She dedicated 17 years to
Glenfield Elementary School, playing an integral role in the early busing system of the
1960s—a transformative period for education in Montclair. Mrs. Eddy continued her dedication
at Bradford School for another 13 years before retiring in 1994.

children, Steven and Christen Eddy, and delights in the company of her grandson, Arie
Montanez. Family has always been at the heart of her life, and their love continues to be a
source of strength and inspiration. Her personal journey has not been without loss; her beloved
husband, Clarence Eddy, with whom she shared 58 beautiful years, passed away in February 2022. His
memory endures in the enduring love and resilience that she continues to share with those around her.
Celebrating 91 Years of Grace and Strength.
