Love Resists

Beginning Wednesday, June 10, 8pm
Side with Love and Love Resists Presents ~
Unfinished Business:
A Study of DuBois’ Reconstruction in America to Now

Side with Love and Love Resists presents “Unfinished Business: A Study of DuBois’ Reconstruction in America to Now,” a four-part political education online series beginning Wednesday, June 10, 8pm ET.

The series explores the history of the reconstruction era (post-civil war), to give us a deeper understanding of the origin of today’s systemic racism in policing and mass incarceration as well as the Black-led movements resisting it. In this pivotal protest moment sparked by the law-enforcement-linked murders of George Floyd, Amaud Ahmery, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade — only the most recent Black lives to be lost to police violence — we’ll learn from the past to be ready for today, and to build towards the world we dream of.

The series also includes the four-part documentary, “Reconstruction: America After the Civil War,” narrated by Henry Louis Gates Jr., as a starting point for reflection, discussion, spiritual grounding in UU values, and action.

The political education group will begin each Wednesday at 5pm PT/8pm ET and you can join an hour earlier (4pm PT/7pm ET) to watch the film together, or you can watch on your own any time ahead of the discussion group. Sign up to participate as an individual, or with a group.
