For the last 27 years since her father’s death, Ms. Williams-Connell has spearheaded the establishment of the Eric Williams Memorial Collection at The University of the West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago campus. The Collection was inaugurated in 1998 by former US Secretary of State, Colin L. Powell. It was named to UNESCO’S Memory of the World Register in 1999.

Secretary Powell heralded Dr. Williams as a tireless warrior in the battle against colonialism, and for his many other achievements as a scholar, politician and international statesman.
