Best-selling author to visit Penn State Dickinson School of Law

Best-selling author and internationally renowned foreign policy advocate Randall Robinson will speak at Penn State's Dickinson School of Law at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26, in 112 Kern Building at University Park. The event is open to the public.

Robinson will present "Implications for World Peace Given the Forced Removal of Democratically Elected Governments by Foreign Powers: Haiti, a Case Study." Robinson's most recent work, "An Unbroken Agony: Haiti, from Revolution to the Kidnapping of a President," was published in 2007. A book signing will be held in the lobby of Kern after the lecture. 

Robinson also is the author of national best-sellers "The Debt," "The Reckoning" and "Defending the Spirit." He is the founder and past president of TransAfrica, the African-American human rights organization established to promote enlightened, constructive U.S. policies toward Africa and the Caribbean. In 1994 his public advocacy, including a 27-day hunger strike, led to the U.N. multinational operation that restored Haiti's first democratically elected government to power. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Robinson has been honored for his humanitarian work by the United Nations, the Congressional Black Caucus, Harvard University and the Martin Luther King Center for Non-Violent Change. 

The event is co-sponsored by the law school's Black Law Students Association, the Minority Law Students Association and the International Law Society.
