Equality, Justice, Civil Rights in our Congregation and on our Walls

How are America’s democratic institutions faring at this, the 250th anniversary of its independence?

This is the question that the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Rock Tavern Arts Ministry hopes to illustrate with artistic viewpoints on the walls of its Sanctuary this July.

This is an invitation to UUCRT members and friends to bring posters and pictures that illustrate social justice, due process, civil rights, freedom of speech, and cultural events from other eras.

An example: the above 1960 poster of Ruby Bridges who was 6 years old when she was escorted to school by the National Guard to get an equal education. That event is rich with ideals about what our democracy is about.

What items might you have that are stashed away in dark corners that could shed needed light on our nation’s progress or lack thereof?

Please bring your items to the sanctuary by Friday June 26.

The Arts Ministry has frames for posters if needed. Questions? Contact Deborah Cashara – dacashara@yahoo.com
