Minns Lecture: “To Uplift the Race” by Rev. Lisa Friedman
Online

Part two of the lecture series “Deconstructing Mythologies of Unitarian Anti-Racism.” This series will narrate a new story of pre-merger Unitarianism beyond heroic stories of abolition and Civil Rights beginning with the significant Unitarian presence at the “rehearsal for reconstruction” in Port Royal, SC during and after the Civil War, through comfortable white silence as Reconstruction crumbled, into the 20th century founding of organizations like the National Association of Colored Women and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
