In Discussion: Bishop Williams and the Cambridge Community

From the exhibition Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge, discover the local history of the Caribbean community in Cambridge.

From international missions, to building tech literacy and confidence in seniors in the community, Bishop Lynwal Williams has been a key part of the Cambridge Caribbean community for more than 40 years. Join Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi and Bishop Williams for an in-depth discussion of the Caribbean Community in Cambridge. Interviewed as part of the Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge exhibition, Bishop Williams, born in Jamaica, has been a central part of the Cambridge community since 1984. As part of the Greater Bibleway Church, Bishop Williams continued supporting the community which developed out of front-room churches in the 1950s. His work is both local and international, supporting mission work in the Caribbean, India and Africa. Join us for a discussion of community, togetherness and history with Bishop Williams and Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi, Thursday 19th June 6 pm – 7pm. Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi is a lecturer at the Open University, local historian and anthropologist. She is founder of the African Caribbean Research Group (ACRG). Dr Brown-Leonardi lectures in sociology and social sciences. For more information on the African Caribbean Research Group, please see their website.
