Another Martin Luther King Day and Rev Dr King’s visit to the University of the West Indies Mona Campus in June 1965 is still well worth remembering; his thoughts expressed then still resonate. In November 2015, 50 years after the visit, we used the occasion to remember that visit and to launch an occasional series with the UWI Department of History & Archaeology focused on UWI & The 1960s. Look out for more under that title in 2018. And come in to the museum where we have Dr King’s speech at the UWI, playing.

The UWI Archives joined us in the UWI Museum to welcome the Class of 1967 in celebrating fifty years as graduates of the University of the West Indies (UWI). We share their post:

Roots of the West Indian Pelican
The Class of ’67

It’s a week of …much ado, a golden jubilee spent at the Alma mater. 50 years since these students donned their caps and gowns and said farewell to their beloved UWI, they return to soak it all in once more.
