This is the marker to Mr. Hill’s late law partner, Judge Robinson, who went on to break color barriers in the federal court system and rise to become chief judge of the powerful U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Mr. Hill and Judge Robinson played key roles in the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that struck down government-sanctioned racial segregation of public schools and led to other landmark civil rights laws.
