Mark Morrison-Reed's "In Between: Memoir of an Integration Baby"
Mark Morrison-Reed's In Between: Memoir of an Integration Baby is a frank personal account of growing up black during the era of the Civil Rights movement. As Morrison-Reed wrestles with racism, the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., black radicalism, his interracial family, and his experience as one of the first black Unitarian Universalist ministers, he gives voice to the pioneering African Americans who were the first people of color in their neighborhoods, schools, churches and workplaces.
Raised Unitarian Universalist (UU), Mark Morrison-Reed was ordained as a UU minister in 1979. For 26 years, he and his wife, Donna, served as co-ministers—first in Rochester, NY, then in Toronto, ON, Canada. Morrison-Reed's graduate thesis, Black Pioneers in a White Denomination, was published in 1984 and is still in print. He is also co-editor, with Jacqui James, of Been in the Storm So Long.
Now retired from full-time ministry, Morrison-Reed divides his time between writing and other interests. Most recently, he has been working with Meadville Lombard Theological School to organize and build the library's archive of materials relating to African American involvement in Universalism, Unitarianism and Unitarian Universalism.
