Join Author Dwight Maxwell at Island SPACE Caribbean Museum on Friday, December 19, 2025 from 7pm to 9pm for a thought-provoking evening with Dwight Maxwell—English lecturer, award-winning poet, and educational scholar whose work champions Black African Caribbean voices in literature and education.
