Marilyn Robinson remembers her school days when her dad was more famous to others than to her. But all of her teachers knew the former Negro League baseball player.
âOne day my dad was coming to school,â Robinson said, recalling her father Stanley Jonesâs visit to Bessemerâs Dunbar Elementary School. âHe was coming to see my teacher and she got so excited to be able to see somebody famous.â
Years later, Robinson raised the eyebrow of a professor at Lawson State Community College.
âI said my dad went to Wenonah High School,â she recalled. âHe said, âWho’s your dad?â I told him my dad is Stanley Lee Jones and he played with the Birmingham Black Barons. He was so excited.

The city of Detroit is vaccinating hundreds of people in the first few days that the TCF Center is open to give vaccines and Mayor Mike Duggan says it's going to keep growing.
Five rows of cars queued up five deep inside the parking garage of Detroit s TCF Center Wednesday morning. The senior citizens inside those vehicles got COVID-19 shots as the city launched its first mass drive-up vaccine clinic.
Helen Monroe, 84, of Detroit rode shotgun in the blue Jeep Compass driven by her goddaughter, Gayle Hill, and got her vaccine about 10 a.m. So did Hill s mother, Barbara Hill, 82.
The process, Monroe said, went smoothly. I just hope this is going to help us get through this, she said. People are not listening to the recommendations and cases are the highest in this country than anywhere in the world.
