I first heard of & saw #RandallRobinson the summer I interned at the Washington Office on Africa, an anti-apartheid advocacy organization. TransAfrica, the powerful anti-apartheid org he founded was at the forefront of the work. His voice, his eloquence, moral conviction…1/

…and strategic leadership were legend. His later work, making the case for reparations, & even his decision to leave the U.S. and to speak about his own painfully-drawn conclusion about how firmly white supremacy is entrenched in U.S. policy were powerful & prescient. 2/

#RandallRobinson presented a powerful example of how you could make a difference as a Black lawyer and advocate, unrelentingly examining and strategizing approaches to addressing systemic racism, & calling on us to confront the diasporic dimensions of our fight. 3/

Rest in Peace & Power,
