Edouard Williams (1931-2026): member of a quiet revolution

Edouard Williams, 95, died in 2026. The Bermudian community mourns the loss of a man who played a pivotal role in the island’s civil‑rights movement.

Williams was a member of a covert group that challenged racial segregation during the 1959 Theatre Boycott in Bermuda. The group operated quietly, risking reprisals from the Establishment in order to confront discriminatory practices in the island’s entertainment venues.
