Henry Sylvester-Williams (24 March 1867 or 15 February 1869 – 26 March 1911) was a Trinidadian lawyer, activist, councillor and writer who was among the founders of the Pan-African movement.

  • Henry Sylvester-Williams, né le 15 février 1869, mort le 26 mars 1911, est un avocat et un écrivain britannique. Inscrit au barreau anglais au XIXe siècle, il fut un actif partisan du mouvement panafricain. Il avait noué des rapports étroits avec les noirs africains de Grande-Bretagne, et les conseilla juridiquement. En 1900, au moment de l'exposition coloniale, il convoqua une conférence à Londres contre l'accaparement des terres coutumières par les Européens. Selon Du Bois, c'est cette conférence qui popularisa le mot « panafricanisme ». (fr)
