Coffee @ The Kennedy Museum
Join us for a cup of coffee as Gregory Williams presents Before Salem – “Witches” in Massachusetts

About The Speaker
Gregory Williams was a Massachusetts District Court judge for 15 years–for his last ten years, he was First Justice of the Edgartown District Court and the Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division (Southern District). Before taking the bench, he was an Assistant Attorney General, lastly serving as the Deputy Chief of the Western Massachusetts Division. And before that, he was a private-practice civil litigator in Springfield for about 15 years. He is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada. He holds degrees from Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) (B.A, English); Queen Mary College, University of London (now Queen Mary University of London) (M.A. English [20th-century British literature); and Washington and Lee University School of Law (J.D.)
Williams has talked on various subjects at numerous venues around Cape Cod and beyond since 2014. He has served on the boards of several Cape Cod nonprofits, and is the immediate past-president of the Board of Trustees of Sturgis Library (Barnstable). His Facebook page, Gregory Williams Speaks, continues to signal his scheduled events, and offers peeks at odd bits of history, art, and music.
