A spokesperson said, “With the blessing and endorsement of Dr. Eva Naomi Hodgson’s family, Citizens Uprooting Racism Bermuda [CURB] warmly invites you to join us as we celebrate and reflect on the life and legacy of a true Bermudian icon—Dr. Eva Naomi Hodgson, OBE—five years after her passing.
- Thursday, May 29th, 2025
- The Anglican Cathedral, Hamilton
- 12:30 PM
“Dr. Eva Naomi Hodgson was a towering figure in Bermuda’s ongoing journey toward social justice, racial equity, and community upliftment. As an educator, historian, author, and fearless activist, she dedicated her life to speaking truth to power, advocating for systemic change, and encouraging generations of Bermudians to know their worth and their history.
“Born in 1924, Dr. Hodgson was one of the first Black Bermudians to earn a doctorate, and she remained a lifelong advocate for civil rights. Her writings, including Second Class Citizens, First Class Men and The Experience of Racism in Bermuda and Its Wider Context, offered bold and insightful critique of racial inequality in Bermuda and beyond. She was also a founding member of organizations committed to social progress, including an early version of what would become CURB.
“Though she passed away in 2020, her vision, courage, and relentless pursuit of justice continue to inspire. This gathering will be an opportunity to share memories, readings, music, and reflections from those who knew her or were moved by her work.
“Let us come together to honor her legacy, reaffirm our collective commitment to justice, and ensure that her voice continues to resonate.
“All are welcome. For more information, please contact CURB at executivedirector@uprootingracism.org.”
