Will Williams was born in central Mississippi on 9/11/1943 and joined the military as a way past the limitations of his race and environment. He did 2 tours in Vietnam, suffered major PTSD, fully emerging from it after 9/11/2001 as he found his voice to speak out against war with the Veterans for Peace.
Will's grandmother, a Shosone, was an early voice for non-violence in Will's life, but his anger led him through years of violence and pain before he could understand and incorporate her words into his life. Since 2001 he has been active with Veterans for Peace and the Madison Area Peace Coalition. Raised Methodist and having traveled with Charasmatic, Baptist and Non-denominational Christians, Will now finds it better to visit churches than to become enmeshed in them. He, his wife and 2 friends perform as the Madison Gospelaires, doing acappella old-time religious music. You can contact Will via email or call (608) 846-1030.
