Williams was the son of a civil servant father and a French Creole mother. Born Eric Eustace Williams on September 25, 1911, the educational system permitted him to attend Queen's Royal College (QRC), where he excelled in academics and football (referred to as soccer in the United States). His name was etched in the roll-of-"honour" in the college assembly hall. He was awarded a scholarship in 1932 and went to Oxford University, England to further his education. He received his doctorate in 1938 and his doctoral thesis was "The Economic Aspect of the West Indian Slave Trade and Slavery."

Africa is still reeling from the ravages of centuries of colonization by Europe. Some years ago, Bishop Desmond Tutu aptly stated that when the Europeans came to Africa, they had the Bible and the Africans had the land. Before long, the Africans had the Bible and the Europeans had the land. More recently, the Honorable Jacob Zuma, while visiting the Los Angeles Sentinel referred to the European languages that were forced upon the African as predatory languages, designed to divide and conquer Africa. Yet, the hue and cry persist when Black Africans get impatient with foot-dragging policies and promises that rendered them servants in their own land, are slow to correct the wrong and return stolen lands.
