Freedom Hall, formerly known as Milner Hall, is one of 5 halls of residence owned by the University of the West Indies (UWI) in St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago. The name change occurred formally on Thursday 22 February 2018 due to reports confirming the association of Lord Alfred Milner, whom the Hall was named after, with crimes against humanity in Africa among other actions driven by his self-proclaimed 'British race supremacy' ideology.[1] Founded in 1927, Freedom Hall currently has housing for 333 students.
