Abstract

This paper explores the scholarship of Henry Richardson, the preeminent African scholar of international law. It examines his intellectual and professional contributions to the discipline, and his pioneering cross-breeding of legal scholarship and political activism. The paper argues that Richardson has been a pivotal incubator of the school of thought -- an escuela -- that advances the scholarship of African-Americans and Blacks in general to discourses of international law. His works have been instrumental in inspiring scores of people of African descend to become international legal scholars and practitioners.
