Biography / Administrative History

Theologian, civil rights activist, and educator William Hazaiah Williams Jr. (1930-1999) was born on May 14, 1930 in Columbus, Ohio the youngest of six children to Rev. W. Hazaiah Williams Sr. and Cora Leon Williams. His father was a Methodist minister, who was the first to receive a master’s degree from Howard University, and he assertively preached against racial segregation which led the church relocating him from a parish with 3,000 members to one with just 25. William Hazaiah Williams Jr. attended schools in Columbus as a child before the family moved to Detroit, Michigan where he graduated from Northern High School in 1947. He attended Adrian College for two years, where he was elected class president his sophomore year and held a weekly radio program. In 1950, he transferred to Wayne State University where he majored in biology and sociology, graduating with his degree in 1952. Three years later he earned a Master of Theology from Boston University’s School of Theology.
Following his graduation in 1955, he moved to San Francisco, California where he became the minister of religious education at the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples at the invitation of prominent theologian and minister Howard Thurman. A year later he was ordained as a minister at the South Berkeley Community Church, but his standing as a minister was later revoked by the Congregational Church, which led him to found The Church for Today in Berkeley, California, a multicultural, interdenominational church where he was minister for over forty years until his death. In 1967, he founded the Alamo Black Clergy, an interdenominational consortium of Black ministers in the East Bay that advocated for civil rights, and the East Bay Conference on Race, Religion, and Social Justice. That same year he was elected to the Berkeley Board of Education (1967-1975) where he eventually became president of the school board and advocated for multicultural education and teacher training and the further racial integration of the Berkeley schools.
In the fall of 1968, the Graduate Theological Union approached the Alamo Black Clergy and began preliminary talks to discuss “the problem of minorities and particularly of the Black community in relation to theological education.” A committee of students, laity, faculty, and the heads of Graduate Theological Union institutions proposed a center for Black and urban studies be established that would provide classes and programs that served all the institutions of the Graduate Theological Union. In December 1968, Rev. W. Hazaiah Williams was recruited to provide leadership to develop a Center for Urban-Black Studies and immediately began teaching a course, “Practicum in the Black Situation,” during the Winter quarter.
In May 1969, Rev. Williams submitted a prospectus for The Center for Urban-Black Studies which envisioned a theological center that would aggressively meet the needs of Black clergy and the Black community. The Center would provide a foundation in the history and theology of the Black church to seminary students at the member institutions of the Graduate Theological Union, continuing education to Black clergymen, and also implement programs that would allow the church to respond to the need for skills development, leadership training, religious perception, and interpretation.
Rev. Williams was officially appointed the director of the Center on January 15, 1969 and he rapidly implemented an ambitious program for the Center. The Center offered seven courses and a number of programs that addressed the need for the Black church and ministers to take a leading role in civil rights and Black liberation theology. Dr. James Cone delivered the first annual Martin Luther King Jr. Lecture Series in June 1969, and the Center offered courses such as RS 523 The Pastor as Community Strategist and RS 514 The Pastor as Revolutionary that sought to combine the role of activist and minister. Throughout the 1970s, the Center hosted the Black Odyssey Festival, a three day festival dedicated to Black theology and community outreach, and its annual Martin Luther King Jr. Lecture Series. The Center featured many prominent Black theologians from across the U.S. as either visiting professors or lecturers including Howard Thurman, Lucius Tobin, James Cone, Kelly Miller Smith, Herbert Edwards, Charles Copher, as well as the Black Panther Party co-founder Huey Newton. Despite the Center’s initial support from the Graduate Theological Union, it became increasingly at odds with administrators over the Center’s funding and support within the larger Graduate Theological Union community. Rev. Williams continued to teach and serve as the Center’s director for the next twenty years until his retirement in 1989. His successor, Rev. Dorsey Blake served as director of the Center for five years until it was eventually shuttered by a lack of institutional support in 1994.
In addition to his work as a professor and civil rights activist, Rev. Williams was also a lifelong patron of music and the arts. He began performing as a pianist at the age of five, and later studied music at the Detroit Institute of Musical Art and the Detroit Conservatory of Music. He was the founder and director of Today’s Artists Concerts, a concert promotion company founded in 1958 that promoted classical musicians and vocalists concerts. He also was the founder of the Four Seasons Arts, a non-profit arts organization founded in 1994 that organizes classical music concerts in the Bay Area and the Yachats Music Festival, a classical music festival held each year on the Oregon Coast.
