The New York launch in 2006, sponsored jointly by members of the Caribbean Diplomatic Corps, also celebrated the declaration of June as National Caribbean American Month in the USA. A new edition of "Inward Hunger", Williams’ long out-of-print autobiography, (with an Introduction by Colin Palmer) is now available. His "Negro in the Caribbean" (with a new introduction by Winston James, University of California, Irvine professor) is slated for future re-release in the United States. University Press of Florida expressed interest in publishing the proceedings of the New York Schomburg Center Eric Williams conference in 2002 - "Into The Post-Colonial Moment: Eric Williams and West Indian Nationalism", edited by Professors William Darity, Jr. (Duke University/University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and Tanya Shields, (UNC, Chapel Hill). The EWMC has also supported the inclusion of entries on Eric Williams in: "The Encyclopedia of Antislavery, Abolition and Emancipation", written by Joseph Inikori, University of Rochester;" The Encyclopedia of the African Diaspora", by William Darity, University of North Carolina/Duke University, and Clare Newstead, University of Nottingham-Trent, UK. Thus, with its three-time award-winning newsletter and Oral History Project, as well as many other endeavours, the EWMC is a model for the Caribbean, a means of showing to its younger generation the vital connection to the past – what that means for both the present and for the future.
