We have filled 2 January slots for Eracism Minutes, but need 2 more speakers. The plan is that January and February will focus on prominent Black leaders, to acquaint the congregation with other important anti-racism leaders besides Martin Luther King, Jr.
Examples are:
- Bayard Rustin
- Kimberlé Crenshaw (who first wrote about intersectionality)
- Tarana Burke (founder of Me Too)
- Freddie Hampton (Black Panther member)
- Alicia Garza, Patrisse Kahn-Cullors and Opal Tometi, co-founders of Black Lives Matter
- Sojourner Truth
- Harriet Tubman
Alan Friedlob will be speaking on January 6 and Stevona Burke will take January 20th, which is the Black Lives Matter service.
That leaves 2 January Sundays: January 13 and 27. Please sign up with Cat, David or Lauralee. Let Paul know your topic as well, preferably by the Wednesday before your Minute.
Thank you!
