Robinson and more than 60 of his service-learning students, including Rumlin, at MCC’s Damon City Campus created a walking tour of Joseph Avenue and an accompanying guidebook as part of the MCC Rochester Neighborhood Oral History Project.
A total of 133 community members participated in the four walking tours organized by the Rochester Public Library’s Lincoln branch in July.
