I took his Harlem Renassaince Class Fall 2010. Dr. Williams is one of the deepest, most insightful brothers I have ever met. His teaching style is very thought-provoking and interesting. I'm considering taking another course with him as a permit student. If you have the chance, TAKE HIS CLASS! He's THE best at Hostos!

Prof W's classes teaches you how to really read a text and analyze it the way that a college student should be able to, he also has taught myself and many other students how to really write powerfully. In his classroom I have learnt more about myself and my people than in any other classroom, or textbook I have read. He is a treasure to Hostos C.C

His lessons are clear--he doesn't drown you in academic jargon yet, nor does he "dumb down" his teachings. Overall Pro. Williams is more than a teacher of curriculum, he is a teacher of life.
