Carroll G. Robinson – Higher Education & Politics

Carroll G. Robinson migrated to the United States with his parents at the age of nine, where he would spend his formative years in Patterson, NJ before attending university in southern New Jersey, and ultimately matriculate law school at George Washington University. Upon earning his law degree, he moved to Texas where he embarked on a career that meandered from the practice of law, to working in government, higher education, and eventually holding elected office in the nation’s fourth largest city to his current service as chairman of the Texas Coalition of Black Democrats.
