==Early life==
Roberts was born in Hammersmith, London to an Afro-Caribbean father and an Indo-Malaysian mother. His parents met while studying law but decided to move back to Roberts father's homeland of Trinidad and Tobago shortly after Roberts birth. In was in Trinidad where Roberts attended Fatima College high school before being accepted into Balliol College, Oxford, and attending on the same Trinidad Government scholarship previously awarded to V. S. Naipaul.〔http://www.foba.fatima.edu.tt/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/FOBA-Newsletter-10_2013-January.pdf〕 He went on to graduate from Harvard Law School in 1991, where he was a classmate of Barack Obama.〔http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2008/11/obama-joins-list-of-seven-presidents-with-harvard-degrees/〕 Roberts’s thesis, “Clarence Thomas and the Tough Love Crowd: Counterfeit Heroes and Unhappy Truths”, was published by New York University Press. His supervisor, Professor Randall Kennedy,〔()〕 taught a Harvard class in “Race Relations and American Law”, which became a flashpoint for ongoing civil rights and campus activism at the time. Obama initially attended the highly polarised class, but did not complete it.
Roberts left a promising career as a Wall Street lawyer to monitor South Africa’s first multiracial elections in 1994.
