It was a series about the Atlantic slave trade on the BBC that shocked Bridget Freeman.\u00a0 Up until then, she knew almost nothing about the plight of free Africans who boarded ships and were taken throughout the world and sold into slavery.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI was horrified and it touched me and I thought dear God, this is not right\u201d she said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Mrs Freeman, an accomplished musician was born in the United Kingdom of Irish background, and adopted at the end of World War II by a couple in their 40s.\u00a0 She has lived in the UK for most of her life.\u00a0 However, some of her relatives left the UK for the Caribbean. One such, was her mother\u2019s brother, Billy Hopkins.\u00a0 As the story goes, \u2018Uncle Billy\u2019, the last Master of the King\u2019s Music in Ireland, became a priest and migrated to Barbados where he married Marion, a local Barbadian woman whose family were plantation and slave owners\u2014another revelation that horrified Bridget Freeman.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Married twice, first to Barry Marshall and then to Bernard Freeman, Mrs Freeman has remained close to her former sister-in-law, Reverend Sylvia McLarnon. Together with the advice of Reverend McLarnon and Bernard Freeman, her late husband; Mrs Freeman made a bold and remarkable decision about her legacy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cMy late husband said: \u2018you\u2019ve got to do the right thing\u2019.\u00a0 There was always a feeling of what do I do with all I have? The young people in the family are doing alright and they don\u2019t need a step-up\u201d said Mrs Freeman.\u00a0 Further research led her to The University of the West Indies (The UWI) and its Executive Director of Institutional Advancement, Mrs Elizabeth Buchanan Hind.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mrs Buchanan Hind is also Chair of UWI Global Giving\u2014the regional university\u2019s annual crowdfunding campaign which was established in 2016. Each year the campaign kicks off on August 1, which in many Caribbean territories is the observance of Emancipation Day, marking the freedom of enslaved Africans who were victims of the transatlantic slave trade. While The UWI honours and pays tribute to that past, it recognises that education is one of the most critical means to freedom and propelling regional development. Under the theme \u201cEmancipate, Educate, Donate,\u201d UWI Global Giving is grounded in The UWI\u2019s vision to facilitate an \u2018access revolution\u2019 for higher education in the Caribbean, calling on the support of regional and international alumni, partners, the diaspora and friends to give. Over the past five years, this giving campaign has become part of The UWI\u2019s culture. However, the 2021 campaign has even greater significance with a focus on funding scholarships and bursaries for students who are in difficult social circumstances because of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through her generosity, Bridget Freeman has bequeathed her properties worth half a million US dollars (US$500,000) to The UWI, through its Global Giving campaign, and noted that her grand piano is being kept in tune for the Cave Hill Campus as a contribution to the University\u2019s new Faculty of Culture, Creative and Performing Arts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vice-Chancellor of The UWI, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles said the University community welcomes Mrs Freeman\u2019s generous endowment, describing it as \u201can honourable demonstration of personal reparation and moral leadership on behalf of her family\u201d.\u00a0 He added that her commitment to turning her awareness into action is deeply appreciated and will go a long way to providing freedom and fulfilment through the gift of education for many Caribbean students.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now in her late 70s Bridget Freeman\u2019s care, research and warm conscience, has led her to becoming an unlikely philanthropist and accepting The UWI\u2019s invitation to get involved as a co-patron of Global Giving 2021. \u201cIt is about reparation\u201d she said. \u201cWe owe it. Once you see the ships of the slave trade, the giving back just seems so obvious\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Throughout August and September, persons interested in giving to The UWI are invited to visit www.uwi.edu\/giving<\/a>. Those seeking more information, or who wish to make an alternative contribution to UWI Global Giving can contact the Institutional Advancement Division in the Office of the Vice-Chancellor at 876-977-0052 or email giving@alumni.uwi.edu.<\/p>\n
