First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia We are an intentionally diverse religious community. We seek to be guided by the wisdom and experience of people of all theologies, genders, ages, abilities, classes, colors, and sexual orientations Harper-Furness Racial Justice Social Action Group Dates: Second and Fourth Sundays of the Month; 12:30 PM The Harper-Furness Racial Justice Action Group is an ongoing committee that addresses race and racism in our lives. We meet twice a month, and we have two different types of meetings. An open, heart-to-heart, "discussion" meeting takes place on the second Sunday of each month. During this "drop-in" meeting, you are invited to share with other church members about race and racial justice in an atmosphere of education, support and community-building. The meeting on the fourth Sunday of the month is more "business", focused on racial justice action. It is directed toward those individuals who have chosen this work as a part of their spiritual and ethical growth and commitment to UU principles of justice and equality. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper Born in Baltimore, Harper was the most important and the most popular black female abolitionist writer and activist of the 19th century. | |
