Williams, and Carey Jenkins, are the only Negro architects ever to get a public contract in this slate ... and except for Williams they get them infrequently." His offices were located in Beverly Hills in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jenkins partnered with Charles E. Fleming to complete the Martin Luther King, Jr. General Hospital in the Watts neighborhood in 1972.
