February 23 – Unitarian Universalists and ‘The Black Empowerment Controversy’

By , January 14, 2025

10:30 AM

Led by Rev. Dr. Michelle A. Walsh

In our Community Ministry Sunday service, we lightly touched on the significance of James Reeb in the history of UU community ministry. At the close of this particular Black History month, let’s do a deeper dive into our history with the civil rights movement that partially shaped our larger association at the time of its consolidation in the 1960’s, including the 1969 walkout at our UUA General Assembly that nearly split our young association.


This service will be in person in the Sanctuary and virtual on Zoom.
