Description
Mr. Lloyd Robinson Jr. was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on June 13, 1952. He was raised in a working-class family with a background in skilled trades. He experienced the integration of public schools at Abramson High School in the late 1960s. After briefly studying at Xavier University, he entered an apprenticeship program and became a pipefitter with Local 60, a career he pursued for many years, even working internationally in Algeria. Mr. Robinson was a key figure in the founding of the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond, a nationally recognized anti-racism organization, and served as the president of its board. His expertise lies at the intersection of labor unionism, grassroots community organizing, and anti-racism analysis.
