White Supremacy, Anti-Racism and Our UUA: What’s Going On?

I was asked to give a talk to an adult RE group, and since I needed to organize my thoughts in order to do that, I am putting those thoughts here on the blog so that they can be shared freely. This talk is about my experience with the I Am UU project, what it […]
