Randall Robinson is an African-American lawyer, activist, nationalist and author, noted for his actions against South African apartheid and the mistreatment of Haitian immigrants through his organization, TransAfrica.

From 1976 to 1977, Robinson served as staff attorney for the Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights, going on to found TransAfrica in 1977. According to its mission statement, the organization serves as a “major research, educational and organizing institution for the African-American community, offering constructive analyses concerning U.S. policy and as it affects Africa and the Diaspora ? in the Caribbean and Latin America.” Until 2001, he served as the organization’s president. In 2001, he wrote “The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks,” which was published to highly controversial reviews. He is currently in self-imposed exile in St. Kitts, from where he wrote, “Quitting America: The Departure of the Black Man from his Native Land.” Robinson has received many awards of recognition, including the National Association of Black Journalists’ Community Services Award, the Africa Future Award and the Humanitarian Award from the Congressional Black Caucus.
