The John L. Warfield Center for African and African American Studies at The University of Texas at Austin invites you to join us for the 2024 Eric Williams Memorial Lecture.
This event will be held in-person at the AT&T Conference Center in Austin, TX, and simultaneously streamed virtually on this page on March 26, 2024. No signup or sign-in is required to attend the event virtually.
Launched in 1999, the Eric Williams Memorial Lecture (EWML) series honors the late Dr. Eric Williams (1911-1981), scholar, statesman, and Head of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago from 1956 until his death in 1981. Williams authored Capitalism and Slavery (1944), the 80-year-old landmark study that has been translated into 9 languages: Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Turkish, Korean, Spanish, among them (with a Dutch translation forthcoming). It continues to generate new debates and provocative thinking about slavery and abolition. A third reprint is now available for purchase from The University of North Carolina Press. In April 2021, the EWML series moved from Florida International University to its new home at the John L. Warfield Center for African and African American Studies at UT Austin.
