[Kelcey Jacobs]

Hello all!  I know this is late notice, but I thought it may be of interest
to some of you.  As some of you know, Chris and I also belong to the MOV
Friends.  They have much in common with UU and my spiritual growth is
enriched by both organizations.   Please take a look and see if you would
like to participate in this educational opportunity.

*Jan 18 Civil Rights Teach-in*

*CIVIL RIGHTS TEACH-IN: Unsung Civil Rights Hero(ine)s*

The Peace and Social Action Committee at North Columbus Friends Meeting
(NCFM) is hosting a “Civil Rights Teach-In” to be presented on Martin
Luther King Jr Day (January 18 at 7pm) to recognize and honor unsung civil
rights heroes and heroines.

The Teach-In will start with an historical overview and contextualization
of racism as an unnatural  political construct followed by individual
profiles of past civil rights heroes and heroines such as Recy Taylor,
Bayard Rustin, Fanny Lou Hamer, and Ella Baker.  A spotlight will also be
placed on NCFM activity during 1950s and 1960s era (i.e., fair housing
attorney Stanley Robinson, Hosting OSU African students).

The presentation will then turn to present day civil rights struggle with
specific focus on the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement (Patrisse
Cullors, Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi) as well as a profile of Cori Bush, the
first Black woman to represent Missouri in Congress.

The Teach In will conclude with a “Call to Action” consisting of a letter
writing campaign focused on the recent killings of Casey Goodson and Andre
Hill by local law enforcement.

Please join us for this event *January 18, 2021, 7:00-8:30pm* and feel free
to invite friends and family.
