This story was excerpted from an interview in September 2026 with Eddie Robinson and Madison Shuford.

Madison Shuford It’s just a surreal experience to think about. I grew up in Burnsville. I’m from Burnsville, and I drove by this hospital my entire life, and I was always told that’s where your papa was born. It’s really cool to get to see it and hear the stories and see all of our family here and their stories as well.
