We Speak Now: Race & Enslavement at the First Church in Roxbury

Aabid Allibhai and Byron Rushing joined us for a virtual event to discuss "Race & Slavery at the First Church in Roxbury (The Colonial Period 1631-1775)", authored by Aabid and released in early-2023.  This report tells the story of at least fifty-eight human beings—Black and Indigenous men, women, and children— who were enslaved by First Church’s white parishioners. 

​

Aabid's report is part of our commitment to an accurate look at our history in order to work for a more just future.  And it is not a one-and-done project, but the beginning of our work.  The video of the virtual presentation is available by clicking on the image (right).

​

If you would like to read Aabid's report, it is available on the History of First Church in Roxbury page of our website.

Our monthly Community Conversations webinar series was created to highlight and discuss issues of concern to Boston’s communities of color, which also were educational for suburban communities, such as Gentrification, closing the racial wealth gap, and the role of our Meetinghouse in Roxbury.

Community Commercials

The UU Urban Ministry is committed to our neighborhood and neighbors.  When the pandemic hit,  all businesses suffered - and minority-owned businesses were affected in a disproportionally adverse manner.   We began to reach out to businesses and worked with them to create these community commercials.  

​

Take a look at the ads for some wonderful local businesses below.  We look forward to continuing this effort and promoting Roxbury businesses.
