William Morris Society in the United States Statement in support of Black Lives Matter I do not want art for a few, any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few. --William Morris, The Lesser Arts , 1882 Times of change, disruption, and revolution are naturally times of hope also. --William Morris, The Hopes of Civilization , 1888 As a Society bearing the name of William Morris, who worked tirelessly to create a more just and beautiful world, we acknowledge our responsibility to fight against racial injustice.

The William Morris Society in the United States believes Black Lives Matter.William Morris and the Bauhaus are coming to London.The William Morris Gallery is aiming to put on the first ever exhibition to explore Victorian William Morris and the modernist Bauhaus movement. Although working half a century before the Bauhaus opened its doors in 1919, Morris s ideas about art, craft and community had a profound influence on the seminal German design school. Walter Gropius, its founder, personally acknowledged the debt he owed to Ruskin and Morris of England .But there has never been an exhibition exploring this connection.To correct this oversight, London s William Morris Gallery is now fund raising £15,000 to stage a historic exhibition uniting the pioneering work of Morris and the Bauhaus.
