January 25—Dr. King and the UUs Rev Sally Fritsche, Minister Neighbourhood UU Congregation Unitarian Universalism came together as a merged denomination in 1961, the same year the first Freedom Rides bused 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. King's legacy is honoured each January, and today we will take the opportunity to reflect more deeply on where our 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? Rev. Sally Fritsche will lead us in reflecting on historical moments of connection and mutual support between Dr. King and UU communities, as well as missed opportunities we can still learn from. Together we will sing, pray, and meditate deeply on the ongoing impact of our shared histories.
