Baroness Rosalind Howells of St Davids (1931–2025)
A daughter of Grenada who became a pillar of justice in Britain.
From the parish of St Davids to the House of Lords, she carried her people’s hope and her island’s spirit into every space she entered.
A pioneer in race relations, education, and equality — and a steadfast supporter of the Lawrence family in their pursuit of justice for Stephen. Her life reminds us that progress is not born of comfort, but of courage.
