TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Be it resolved that this email concerns a request for your intervention in a matter of great social importance for Crawley.

BACKGROUND

My name is Albert Williams, I have been living in Crawley since 2004, upon my return to the UK after living for 32 years in the West Indies.

I am a former, journalist and published author of three books of poetry, a book of short stories, and a non-fiction book. For the past 14 years, I have been employed as a security guard at Tesco Extra in Hazelwick Avenue. However, during this time, I have earned a BSc. Hons Computing and IT a Postgraduate Diploma in Technology Management. The Postgraduate studies were funding by a student loan which I intend to pay back. I am married to an Afro-American, Tempie, who is also a published author.

REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE TO ESTABLISH A CULTURAL INSTITUTE IN CRAWLEY

Although I have made Crawley my home since 2004, due to the recent ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests worldwide, over the killing of George Floyd in the USA, I realize that my expertise in matters of racial equality, to date, has not been made the best use of.

My wife and I share a wide breadth of talents, and interests including: journalism, publishing, television, music, human rights to name a few. The combination of me, being born of Dominican parents in the UK, of the Wind Rush generation, having lived a substantial part of my life in Dominica and returned and married my American wife, has enriched my own heritage, and both our stories need to be heard.

We believe that it is a great injustice, to first myself, and then to the wider the world, that much of my talent remains under-valued and under-used. Not only could I earn a higher standard of living if my talents were better organised, but the society as a whole would benefit from my input to the current narrative.

Yours truly

Albert Williams
