Join us as we welcome back retired civil rights attorney and All Souls member Henry Walker for this service in celebration of the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Much has been accomplished and much remains that is ours to do. Dr. King dreamed of a time when “my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
It is a beautiful dream yet to be realized in an age when mass incarceration and growing economic disparity make “colorblindness” more of a fantasy born of white privilege. Join us to hear a stirring message and to recommit to the dream. The All Souls Choir will sing.

“Inner peace and a life of peace are extremely challenging in our 21st century environment where technology stimulates our brains in negative ways and the pace of life keeps our hearts racing. Still, inner peace is the root of world peace.”
We are delighted to welcome back Rev. Susan M. Smith, a member of the Congregational Life Staff of the Southern Region of the Unitarian Universalist Association (holding the portfolio of Stewardship and Administration).

As the season of giving and thanksgiving gives way to the season of light, we turn our attention to a remarkable man and a journey that began years ago with a conversation with the author Alex Haley.
Dr. Roy Phillips has traced the roots of his family back to slavery days and before — back to their origins on the African continent.
In the course of his search for his own roots, Dr. Phillips has formed a relationship with the descendants of the family who owned his own, and he will speak to us on that seemingly impossible journey of reconciliation.
