“Race Amity: Celebrating Our Getting Along” Oct. 2

Past event
Oct 2, 2016

Sunday Service at10 AM: with Rev. M’ellen Kennedy. Maybe a way out of the current morass is focusing on the ways, times, places where we humans have gotten along well across our differences. So thinks Dr. William H. Smith, an African American, and Founder of the National Center for Race Amity. I was really inspired when I met him last year and he told me about his work affiliated with Wheelock College. In his own words, “Race relations in America will not substantially improve unless the public discourse on race moves beyond the blame/grievance framework to one that recognizes and celebrates our ability to overcome racial prejudice through association, amity, and collaboration.” Let’s lift up the positive stories of the interracial harmony that we long for and work for. Friends on the Path Small Group discussion on the topic of the service will follow the coffee hour from ~noon to 1:15.

Held at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Springfield, 21 Fairground Road.
