Remembering Lloyd Williams, Harlem's tireless advocate and eternal friend
New York Amsterdam News
|August 07, 2025
If Harlem can be said to have a bellwether, a focused visionary, it was Lloyd Williams.
As president and CEO of the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce and co-founder of Harlem Week, his leadership was indispensable. Williams died Tuesday, following a private and courageous battle with cancer. He was 80.
The 51st Harlem Week celebration is currently underway and will continue until Aug. 17, said Winston Majette, executive director of the Chamber. "Our theme this year is 'Celebrate Our Magic,' which is fitting because Lloyd always celebrated the magic of his beloved community," he added.
