Unitarian Universalism came together as a merged denomination in 1961, the same year the first Freedom Rides bussed through the American south, and just two years before Martin Luther King Jr’s march on Washington and his much-quoted “I have a dream” speech. We will reflect on where our UU tradition’s unique story intersects with that of Dr. King. Where were the UUs during Rev. Dr. King’s push for Black civil rights? And what lessons can our justice efforts today take from that unique history? Speaker: Rev. Sally Service Weaver: Peter Marmorek Music: Susanne and friends
