UWI Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, has been honoured by the Brooklyn Caribbean Literary Festival.
On September 5th, he was presented with a certificate of recognition by New York Mayor Eric Adams, who praised his “outstanding contributions to the dynamic cultural landscape through his accomplishments as an author, educator, and historian.”
Established in 2019, the Brooklyn Caribbean Literary Festival is a leading platform for celebrating the richness of Caribbean literature and the region’s vibrant history of storytelling.
By spotlighting both emerging and established writers of Caribbean heritage, the festival not only showcases their works, but also empowers the Caribbean community to share their stories on their own terms
