Samson "Sam" Uriah Morris (14 October 1908–25 April 1976) was a Grenada-born educationalist, anti-colonialist and civil rights activist who came to London in 1939, becoming deputy chair for the Commission for Racial Equality in the 1970s.
[1] Morris was born in St Andrew's, Grenada, in 1908 and received part of his education in Barbados at Codrington College.
He subsequently became active in the League of Coloured Peoples — which was formed by Harold Moody and was concerned with racial equality and civil rights in Britain and elsewhere in the world — becoming general secretary of the organisation in 1945.
Morris participated in several BBC programmes, including Calling the West Indies and Caribbean Voices.
The Sam Uriah Morris Society had a centre in Hackney, East London which housed an exhibition about black history.
