Selma Sunday 2015
Chad
March 7, 2015, is the fiftieth Anniversary of the history-changing March in Selma. The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) is providing worship and educational resources for congregations to commemorate Selma Sunday and recommit to its goals.
Nearly fifty years ago, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. sent a telegram to faith leaders around the country, including Unitarian Universalists, calling on them to join him in Selma—and Unitarian Universalists (UUs) heeded the call.
Now, Unitarian Universalists are once more being called to continue witnessing against the “disease of racism”: voter disenfranchisement and the eroding of civil rights, the lack of justice especially for the deaths of young men and transgender women of color, and escalating inequality in our country.
We invite you to witness with thousands of others by symbolically “crossing the bridge” for justice on Selma Sunday in your congregation.
