Description

The following provided by the Anti Racist Task Force at First Parish UU Church, Medfield. Medfield Anti-Racism Vigil - May 23, 4pm, Meetinghouse Park Come join us at Meetinghouse Park (First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church, 26 North St) on Sunday, May 23rd at 4:00pm, as we mark the anniversary of the killing of George Floyd. All are welcome to join together with local clergy, community leaders, students, and artists to share, to remember, and to reflect on the past year so that we can sustain and strengthen our commitment to the principles of justice for all. We honor all those who have lost their lives due to the devastating effects of racism, for there has been a large uptick in hate crimes directed against Asian-Americans as well. We are here to support those who have dealt with the impacts of racism in their daily lives, to listen to personal stories that may help us better acknowledge and understand the unity in our neighbors, and to reflect on our own awakenings in an effort to become a more inclusive and welcome community.
