The Celebration of Life of the Rev. Cecil Williams was held on May 12, 2024 at Glide Memorial Church. Dr. Gina Fromer, President & CEO of GLIDE, along with the political activist and scholar Dr. Angela Davis, Mayor London Breed, singer-songwriters Michael Franti and Joan Baez, and a long list of acclaimed elected leaders, musicians, family and friends, praised Rev. Cecil Williams for a lifetime of love, courage, and commitment to fight injustice and speak truth to power.
Cecil died on April 22nd. During the last 61 years of his life, he resuscitated a dwindling congregation of a few dozen people at the Glide Memorial Church into a multi-racial, multi-generational movement numbering in the tens of thousands. There are few people who have moved the moral compass in San Francisco towards truth and justice more than Cecil Williams.
