George S Robb Centre

Established in 2005, the George S. Robb Centre is named for First Lieutenant Robb (1887-1972), a Park University alumnus from the Class of 1912 and Medal of Honor Recipient. The George S. Robb Centre is involved in numerous projects, including the collection and annotation of the John J. Pershing Papers, Charles Young Papers, Great War Institute, and the Valor Medals Review.

The current project of the Valor Medals Review is a systematic review of minority veterans of the Great War who may have been unjustly denied the Medal of Honor due to their race or religion. The George S. Robb Centre conducts meticulous genealogical, biographical and military research for each service member of the five minority groups (African-American, Asian American, Hispanic-American, Jewish-American, and Native American) as listed in World War I Valor Medals Review Act H.R. 2249/S. 1218 of the National Defense Authorization Act, and is the only entity that is lawfully granted to conduct said research.
